Directed by Aditya Dhar, the movie starring Ranveer Singh, has become the talk of the entire country. With no signs of slowing down, the movie is earning outstanding numbers at the box office.
Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to dominate headlines. While the film continues to rule at the box office, a new legal trouble has knocked on the door.
On Wednesday, Bollywood production company Trimurti Films filed a suit against Dhar's production house, B62 Studios.
As reported by Bar and Bench, they have accused the makers of using the song ‘’Rang De Laal'' from the 1989 film Tridev in the sequel without seeking appropriate authorisation.
The song is a recreated version of "Tirchi Topiwale," whose rights are owned by the Trimurti.
According to a report, the dispute centres on the use of the hit retro song "Tirchi Topiwale," originally co-composed by Anand-Milind with lyrics by Sameer Anjaan.
