Reacting to TroyBoi's allegations, the makers of 'Baaghi 3' released a statement where they claimed that they had bought the rights of a 2012 track which was brought by The Bendaly Family- a Lebanese family band. 

Record label T-Series claimed that they acquired the rights from the family.

The Hindi track 'Do You Love Me' has been recreated by composer Tanishk Bagchi and sung by Nikhita Gandhi.
