Sargam Vaish accuses makers of using his song

Sargam Vaish posted a video on Instagram on Monday. He said, "I have been working on a project for three years, and one song from that has been used in the film 'Vvaan's trailer that was recently released, without my permission. 'The Vvaan' stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia and is directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, produced by Balaji Telefilms and TVF. They have used my song for 25 seconds without my permission."

Ricky Kej asks how song was accessed

After the post spread online, CBFC member Ricky Kej asked in the comments, "How did they get access to your master recording when you had not released it yet?"Sargam replied, "Sir, I'm a big fan of yours, so it genuinely means a lot that you noticed this.

The song was already given to another big movie and was still unreleased. Somehow, it reached this movie through another circle and was used before the original project. That's exactly what I'm trying to understand as well."

Legal warning over master file

In his post, Sargam warned of legal action if the makers did not remove the song from the trailer and gave more details. He added, "From 1 minute 8 seconds to 1 minute 33 seconds, the song's name is Aigiri Nandini. They have used my master file, production, and vocals as it is. I have signed a deal with a big label; if that is affected, they will be responsible for this. Kindly remove the song from your trailer and the movie; otherwise, my legal team will take care of it.
