Their official statement read, “We have sent a notice to Mythri Movie Makers, who have made this movie. They have used three songs – Otha Rubai Tharen, Ilamai Idho Idho and En Jodi Manja kurvi– of music director Ilaiyaraaja in their film without getting his permission. Therefore, we have asked that they pay compensation.”

As per IANS, the lawyer continued, “One other important aspect is that these songs haven’t been used as they were created. They have been distorted. When a creator’s works are distorted, the creator has a moral right to question that distortion. The law clearly says that distortion should not be allowed.”
