Sachet and Parampara Tandon, the hit composer duo and popular couple in the music industry, have found themselves in the middle of a controversy due to their song ‘Raanjhan’. The song is from Kriti Sanon’s Netflix film ‘Do Patti’ and has become a chartbuster since its release. An international music producer, KMKZ, accused the duo and T-Series of plagiarism in creating the song ‘Raanjhan’.
However, both Sachet and Parampara have reacted strongly to these allegations and have decided to take legal action to address the accusation. “The person alleging they composed the music for Raanjhan is making completely baseless accusations, clearly intended to stir controversy and gain visibility. With the consultation of my lawyers, I have issued a defamation notice, and we are prepared to take strict legal action to address this malicious attempt to discredit our work. We’ve already provided the original session files and piano scores to YouTube, Spotify, and other streaming platforms, all of which confirmed our authorship and rejected any other copyright claims,” they said.
For the unversed, KMKZ posted a video on Instagram in which he accused Sachet and Parampara of lifting his beat, that was uploaded two years ago. He said, “I produced the number one song in India and I didn’t even know about it. Here’s what happened. So, I’m a music producer. I sell beats online and I go by KMKZ… I posted this beat about 2 years ago. And then fast forward to just recently, someone sent me this message saying that they found a song and they recognised the piano as one of my beats and they didn’t see me credited. So, they wanted me to know about it.”
“I see that it has 290 million streams on Spotify. And if you look at the credits for the song, you can see that it’s from T-Series… So, I start sending emails. I emailed the artist. I emailed everybody at T-Series that I could find and I got zero response from anybody. So, I don’t really know what to do now because they pretty much just ripped the beat off of YouTube and didn’t contact me or pay me or credit me or anything. And now they have a number one song on Indian Billboard,” he added.
KMKZ is yet to react to Sachet and Parampara’s response.
