IT seems singer Abhijeet has bitten off greater than he can chew. After he accused composers Sajid-Wajid of plagiarising the music of Housefull 2, the duo has now decided to take legal action against the singer.
The duo’s resolve is stronger after Abhijeet called on the composers’ housing society (Royal Classic at Andheri) on Friday and complained against the composers.
An irate Wajid says, “It’s time to finish these wild allegations. Abhijeet says he didn’t do all this for publicity and didn’t wish to stall our film, Housefull 2. But, the film’s music released on February 6.
What took him goodbye to grasp the ‘similarities’ between our song and something he had composed years ago, which now we have never even heard of?”
Wajid adds that he first met Abhijeet during a TV show and he (Abhijeet) invited the duo to his farmhouse. “He spoke so sweetly, and now he does this. And the way can he claim to be original? He earns a living by imitating Kishore Kumar.”
‘He’s ignorant’
Wajid says he would never dream of copying Abhijeet’s song. “Even if someone gave us a possibility to replicate his song for free, we might reject it. To visit court for a random similarity within the notes shows acute ignorance.”
Commenting on Abhijeet’s campaign against singers from Pakistan in Bollywood, Wajid says, “He sang a song in Gangster, that's a note-by-note copy of a Pakistani song composed by M Arshad.
Since he’s so adamant on punishing Indians who work with Pakistani musicians, he have to be the primary to be punished. Respect is commanded, not demanded.”
