The makers of “Singham Again” removed and restored the title track of “Singham Again” on YouTube and other platforms after T-Series claimed the copyright.
Ajay Devgn’s “Singham Again” and Kartik Aaryan’s “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” will release on the same day, November 1, 2024. The box-office clash of high-profile movies during Diwali is worth looking forward to. Amid much anticipation, T-Series, the producers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, claimed to have acquired the rights to the title song of “Singham Again”. The makers re-uploaded an edited version of the song, however, netizens were quick to take notice and share their reactions.
The title track of “Singham Again” was released on Saregama Music’s YouTube and other platforms on Saturday. However, a day later, the song was taken down as many people pointed out that the song was not available on the platform. The missing thumbnail of the film’s song indicates that the song was removed after T-Series launched a copyright strike. “Due to a copyright claim by T-Series, this video is no longer available,” the message read.
According to reports, the title song of “Singham Again” adopts the Singham theme song, which was composed by Ajay-Atul for the 2011 film under T-Series. The new track is sung by Santhosh Venky, composed by Ravi Basrur and lyrics by Swanand Kirkire. After receiving a copyright strike, the makers removed the Singham theme and re-uploaded the song on Tuesday. “Yes, there was a minor issue with some parts of the title track of ‘Singham Again’, which had received a copyright claim. But it was resolved soon,” a source close to Saregama Music told Hindustan Times.
The title track of “Singham Again” is out now, but there is no “Singham” theme song. The song’s deletion and reupload attracted widespread attention on social media. One user said: “Guys, due to Tseries’ copyright strike, they changed the main theme of Singham and re-uploaded it.” Before the release of “Singham Again”, some netizens slammed Tseries. “T series iss class pe girega socha nai tha. Singham bombs again,” one user wrote. Another user added: “T-Series aur bb3 wale jetna bhi kosis Kar le Singham again KO hit hone se koi bhi Nahi rok sakta”.
“Singham Again” is directed by Rohit Shetty and is the third film in the Singham series. Apart from Ajay Devgn, the film also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Deepika Padukone, Akh Shekumar and Ranveer Singh. On the other hand, Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee, stars Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit.
