Why did Rapperiya Baalam object to the use of the song?
The matter emerged after the release of Mirzapur: The Movie. The singer took to his Instagram to express his disappointment at the use of the song in the film. "Some of you may ask why my heart is broken. You might say I should be happy because my song is in Mirzapur. But the Mirzapur team did not take my permission to use my song. Who gave them the permission? I certainly did not."
He also questioned the creative context in which Shoorveer was used. "This song is dedicated to Maharana Pratap ji. We are using this song to glorify the villains in the movie. Is this right? If the Mirzapur team had approached me and said, 'Rapperiya bhai, we want to use your song,' we would have given them 10 ideas. But taking the song without permission is not right." It was released in 2020. "I don't know who gave you these rights or from whom you obtained them. Whoever gave you the rights, I would like you to ask them: Do you have any copyright?" he added.
