In a surprising turn of events, the much-anticipated title teaser of Rajinikanth’s upcoming film “Coolie” has stirred controversy due to its unauthorized use of music from the legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja. The teaser, featuring the music of Ilaiyaraaja’s iconic track “Va Va Pakkam Va” from the film “Thangamagan,” composed by Maestro, has led to a copyright notice being sent to the Coolie team.
Amidst the brewing copyright dispute, Rajinikanth himself was approached by reporters at the Chennai airport for his thoughts on the matter. In his characteristic style, Rajinikanth diplomatically stated, “The issue is between Ilaiyaraaja and producer Kalanithi Maran.” This concise response from the megastar highlights his tactfulness in navigating potentially sensitive topics.
As discussions surrounding the copyright issue continue to unfold, fans and industry insiders eagerly await a resolution. Meanwhile, “Coolie” promises to deliver a riveting cinematic experience, with Rajinikanth portraying the role of a mafia don embroiled in the world of gold smuggling. Set against a backdrop of intrigue and suspense, “Coolie” stands as a standalone film, separate from the larger LCU universe.
