Aamir Khan's show "Satyamev Jayate", which has garnered a good response from TV viewers, has got stuck in a copyright issue filed against Ram Sampath, the music composer of the title track, by Palash Sen the lead singer of Euphoria.
According to reports, Sen claims that the chorus of the song "Satyamev Jayate" was lifted from his band's old song which was also named "Satyamev Jayate". The band has requested the team of "Satyamev Jayate" to present them credit for the song.
Music composer Ram Sampath claims his team is preparing for a robust fitting reply and has requested people to hear the 2 songs before jumping to conclusions.
"'Satyamev Jayate' is a show that raises important, pertinent problems with national concern and that i wouldn't like attention to be diverted from them.
Therefore, I'M very happy to clear my name in court as I'VE great faith within the Indian judiciary. Our team is preparing a robust fitting reply. I also request people to hear the 2 songs before jumping to conclusions," Ram Sampath said in a statement.
Palash Sen's PR Manager said: "BECAUSE THE band have been touring and functioning at concerts we got to grasp about it late. A fan posted it at the Facebook page and that's how we got to grasp about it. We sent a legal notice to Star India and Aamir Khan Productions on Saturday."
"We haven't yet received any response on it. Our legal team might be in contact with their legal advisers. We just want them to present us credit since the entire song is across the chorus of our song "Satyamev Jayate" from our album within the year," Sen's PR Manager added.
