Vishal, who is one half of the film music producing duo Vishal–Shekhar and has delivered a number of hits, tweeted, “Warning: I WILL sue anyone making remixes of Vishal & Shekhar songs. I’ll even move court against the films & musicians. After Saaki Saaki, I hear upcoming bastardisations include Dus Bahaane, Deedaar De, Sajnaji Vaari Vaari, Desi Girl & more.”

“Make your own songs, vultures!,” wrote Vishal.

In a statement, Vishal said, “I shall certainly exercise my legal rights if needed and even move courts against the films and the musicians if it comes down to it. It’s not fair that anyone should be able to do this, and I’m sure that the Courts will see this for what it is. Daylight robbery of work, credit, opportunity and most crucially creativity. Once again, I would like to ask my fellow musicians NOT to remix Vishal and Shekhar songs without our permission, due credit and remuneration. That is robbery, nothing more. Stop doing this, show some spine, and let yourself and all musicians be respected as a community.”

In the last couple of years, the trend of remixing older songs has gained a lot of steam.
