Everything
was
moving
smoothly
for
the
film
Chalo
Dilli,
which
will
hit
the
screen
this
Friday,
till
recently
when
lyricist
Farhaaz
Ahmed
took
the
entire
unit
of
the
film
to
the
court.
Ahmed
claims
that
the
song
'Matargastiyan'
originally
belongs
to
him
and
has
been
stolen.
He
also
confirmed
that
the
song
is
already
registered
in
his
name.
The
writer
has
sent
a
legal
notice
to
Eros
International,
Anad
Raj
Anand
and
Lara
Dutta.
Ahmed"s
lawyer
Mujahid
Mulla
told
Mumbai
Mirror,
“We
have
filed
an
application
in
court,
which
has
been
accepted
and
now
we
are
waiting
for
the
hearing."
Farhaaz
accused,
“I
had
met
Anand
Raaj
Anand
in
December
and
had
given
the
song
to
him.
Though
it
is
registered
on
my
name
in
the
writers" association,
they
did
not
pay
heed
to
the
letter
I
wrote
to
them.
Finally,
I
had
to
send
a
legal
notice.
In
fact
I
was
not
even
aware
that
the
song
had
been
recorded.
I
was
shocked
to
see
it
in
the
promos
of
the
film
(Chalo
Dilli)."
On
the
other
hand,
Anand
Raj
defended
himself,
“I
was
shocked
when
my
director
informed
me
about
all
this.
Since
Farhaaz
has
gone
to
court,
I
will
reply
in
court
as
well.
I
have
never
been
accused
of
anything
like
this
in
my
entire
career.
Many
writers
come
to
meet
me.
He
too
must
have
come.
Just
because
he
has
a
similar
catch
line
to
my
song
does
not
mean
he
has
a
copyright
to
it.
I
wrote
the
song
myself
along
with
my
writer,
so
there
is
no
question
of
me
copying
the
song.
It
is
in
bad
taste
and
he
doesn"t
deserve
any
credit."
He
added,
“When
he
came
to
me,
I
thought
that
justice
should
be
done.
I
even
gave
him
a
cheque
of
ten
thousand
rupees.
It
is
nonsense
and
I
will
fight
it
out
in
the
court."
Eros'
spokesperson
informed,
“As
producers,
we
have
a
legal
ownership
of
the
song
Matargastiyan
and
have
acquired
the
rights
through
the
correct
mechanism
from
Anand
Raj
Anand."
