MHC Gives A Strong Counter To Ilayaraaja’s Argument!

In the case revolving around musical maestro Ilayaraaja and ‘Echo’ music company, the Madras High Court observed that the legendary composer cannot claim that he is the sole creator of a song as lyrics are also a part of it. ‘Echo’ company challenged the single judge order which recognised the special right for the composer over his 4500 songs.

Justice R Mahadevan and Justice Mohammed Shaffiq has heard the appeal of Echo as their representative Senior Counsel Vijay Narayan stated that a composer will not have rights if he takes money for his work from the producer and the ownership belongs to the producer. He cited section 17 of Copyrights Act.

As per reports, Ilayaraja has composed the music notes and he owns them but the performance, lyrics, sound and other aspects belongs to the producer who owns those songs. Ilayaraja’s representative Sathish Parasaran stated that music rights continue with the music director without agreement and presented sections 13 & 15 of the Copyrights Act.

Detailed appeal regarding this will be heard by the court in the second week of June. The counsel said that Sony Music too approached Bombay High Court asking to restrain the great composer from performing his tunes.

NTR Gets Angry At Paparazzi In Mumbai Hotel!

Young Tiger NTR is mostly sane, calm and composed. He is jovial too and doesn’t let his frustrations out in public. But every person has a tipping point and we see many celebrities lose their cool at some stage. NTR had one such moment recently in Mumbai.

There is a video clip going viral that shows NTR stepping into a hotel and the photographers are following him for clicking his pictures. We can clearly see Tarak not being happy about it and strongly asking them to stop. NTR was spotted in a white shirt and blue jeans along with sporting cool shades. He usually doesn’t prefer the limelight and isn’t active on social media too.

He is now shuttling between Hyderabad and Mumbai for the shooting of ‘War 2’ with Hrithik Roshan under the direction of Ayan Mukherji. Also, he doesn’t want to reveal his movie look to everyone but the constant attempts from the paparazzi seem to have tested his patience this time.

‘War’ came out in 2019 and it had Hrithik and Tiger Shroff playing lead roles. ‘War 2’ is expected to be released in 2025 and Yash Raj Films is making it on a grand scale. It is a part of YRF Spy Universe and the expectations are massive on this project. Apart from this, NTR is also doing ‘Devara’ with Koratala Siva which will hit the screens on 10th October 2024. Janhvi Kapoor is the heroine while Anirudh Ravichander is the music composer for this pan-Indian flick.
