Rohit Shetty’s team has been forced to change the ‘Singham theme’ song amid the bitter box office clash with ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. The title track of ‘Sigham Again’ was released on Saturday but the video had to removed from YouTube after a copyright strike by T-series.
The title track is composed by Ravi Basrur with some elements borrowed from the original Singham theme from the 2011 film. T-series, the company behind ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ claimed copyright to the Singham theme and hence the title track of Rohit Shetty’s upcoming film had to be removed.
On Tuesday, a new edited version of the song was re-uploaded minus the popular original Singham theme. The iconic theme music was composed by Ajay-Atul and released by T-series in 2011.
The copyright issue with the title track gained attention amid the ongoing box office battle. The advance booking for both the films is open as reports suggest that the screen-sharing row has been resolved. According to Bollywood Hungama, ‘Singham Again’ is getting 60% of the shows while Kartik Aaryan starrer ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ has been given 40% shows. The multiplexes are reportedly witnessing a high demand for the Diwali releases.
Rohit Shetty directorial ‘Singham Again’ boasts of a multi-starrer cast. Led by Ajay Devgn, the third film in the franchise will also feature Kareena Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Akshay Kumar and several stars in cameo appearances.
On the other hand, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ stars Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan as the main leads and also features stars like Madhuri Dixit.
