Legend Ilaiyaraaja's legal notice to Ajith’s film!

Musical Maestro Ilaiyaraaja is one of the most respected and reputed musicians in the history of Indian cinema. The kind of discography that he had is beyond ordinary, and he is regarded as one of the greatest exponents of the South Indian cinema music scene.

However, there is this one particular trait about Ilayaraja that becomes a talking point every now and again. He has the habit of serving legal notices to the films that use songs in an unauthorised manner.

The same has happened again with Ilaiyaraaja now, as he has reportedly served legal notice to the makers of Ajith Kumar’s recent film Good Bad Ugly.

Ilaiyaraaja has reportedly issued a legal notice to the makers of the film Good Bad Ugly, demanding ₹5 crore for allegedly using his songs without proper authorization.

The legendary composer claims his copyright and moral rights have been violated. This comes amid growing tensions in the industry over music rights. If proven, the case could have significant implications for how classic music is reused in modern films without explicit consent.

It is a fact that a few of Ilaiyaraaja songs were used in the film soundtrack for this Ajith Kumar starrer. However, not many people expected the legendary musician to issue a legal notice to the makers of this superstar Ajith Kumar film.

Ilaiyaraaja did something like this earlier as well, while he served the legal notice to the makers of Manjummel boys for using his songs in the film.Despite the obvious reluctance of Ilaiyaraaja, It is strange to note that several film makers are still having the audacity to use his songs in their films.
