Housefull retains Laawaris' controversial song

It looks like the controversial re-mix of the Laawaris track 'Apni Toh Jaise Taise' in this weekend's big hit Housefull won't have to be deleted from the film, at least for now.

Acting swiftly on the honourable High Court's decision in Kolkata restraining the use of the chartbusting Laawaris song, the music company Saregama which sold the song's rights to producer Sajid Nadaidwala got an amendment against the High Court's decision in Kolkata.

Divulging these facts, Apurv Nagpal Managing Director of HMV-Saregama says, "The restraint order has been amended, pending our appeal which would be heard on Monday. The film's (Housefull) prints have already been sent to all centres on Friday."

Housefull director Sajid Khan appears blissfully unaware of the copyright battle raging against a song in his film.

Says Sajid Khan, "I am the film's director. I liked the song and I used it in Housefull after I thought all the legal procedure was followed. At the moment, I'm just so happy and relieved by the response to my film that I really don't want to go into a matter that I don't understand."
