Badshah Responds After Dr Zeus Accuses Bala Filmmakers Of Having Plagiarized ‘Don’t Be Shy’
British music composer Dr. Zeus has tweeted furiously against the makers of Bala, alleging them of having outright copying the songs without getting the necessary rights.
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
upcoming
film
Bala
has
been
landing
in
trouble
for
many
reasons.
Earlier,
director
Abhishek
Pathak
accused
Bala
of
being
almost
exactly
the
same
as
his
upcoming
movie,
Ujda
Chaman.
Now,
British
music
composer
Dr.
Zeus
has
tweeted
furiously
against
the
makers
of
Bala,
alleging
them
of
having
outright
copying
the
songs
without
getting
the
necessary
rights.
Rapper
Badshah
has
now
responded
to
the
allegation.
Dr
Zeus
tweeted,
"Are
you
guys
taking
the
p*ss
@sonymusicindia
@MaddockFilms
@Its_Badshah
@SonyMusicUK
@SachinJigarLive?
When
did
you
compose
Don't
Be
Shy
&
Kangna?
More
to
the
point
how
dare
you
guys
be
riding
off
my
old
hits
&
f**kin
them
up???
Ya
need
to
get
original
My
lawyers
will
be
in
touch."

Badshah,
who
has
sung
'Don't
Be
Shy'
in
Bala
responded
on
Twitter,
"I
am
aware
of
the
situation
around
Dont
Be
Shy.
I
want
to
start
by
saying
that
I
love
and
respect
@drzeusworld
paaji
immensely
and
he
knows
it.
He
has
the
right
to
get
angry
with
me
because
he's
my
senior
and
I've
learnt
a
lot
from
him.
And
he
is
the
last
person
I'd
want
to
go
through
something
like
this.
I
got
on
the
song,
which
has
been
recreated
by
my
dear
friends
Sachin-Jigar,
only
after
making
sure
we
had
the
necessary
rights.
But
still
if
there's
any
misunderstanding,
I'll
make
sure
it
gets
cleared
ASAP.
I
support
Zeus
Paaji."

Bala
stars
Ayushmann,
Bhumi
Pednekar
and
Yami
Gautam.
It
is
directed
by
Amar
Kaushik,
and
produced
by
Dinesh
Vijjan
under
Maddock
Films.
The
film
was
also
criticized
by
netizens
for
Bhumi
being
made
to
appear
duskier
than
usual.
Many
questioned
the
filmmakers
on
why
they
did
not
pick
actual
dark-skinned
actors.
Bala
is
scheduled
for
release
on
November
7.
