Pritam who has been alleged by Anu Malik and another guy for music theft was a little nervous before the incident when Salman defended him in front of media at the music release of the film ‘Ready’.
The story was reported in Mid-Day where a source close to Pritam said, “Pritam has been surrounded by controversies after the music of Ready became a big hit. Recently, Anu Malik called up to congratulate producer Bhushan Kumar for the film’s musical success and added that Mein karoon toh saala resembles a song that he had composed years ago!
“Another guy accused Pritam of using his lyrics. Someone else said he had apparently, stolen his tune. All this had left the composer very unhappy and disillusioned.”
However, things were looking tough in the hands of Pritam until Salman came forward and changed the music director’s perspective, “At Ready’s music event, when people were quizzing Pritam about his lyrics, Salman asked the media why they were questioning Pritam about it as he is the music director and not the lyricist.”
“When someone again asked the composer about Anu Malik’s assertion, Salman quipped, ‘Haan thoda bahut tune similar hoga lekin Pritam ne Anu ka flop song likkhke gaana hit bana diya!'”, added the source.
After the incident Pritam told the daily, “I am not very good at defending myself, so when Salman defended me I became emotional. In fact when I came back to my room, Bhai came in, touched my shoulder and said, ‘I have cleared all the points the media had against you dude. I hope you are okay now. Nobody will trouble you after this!'”
Hail Salman for ‘Being Human’!!!
