Delhi HC Lifts Stay Order On Release Of ‘Sorry Bhai’
The Delhi High Court has cleared the release of Bollywood movie ‘Sorry Bhai,’ lifting the stay after its makers settled to remove a controversial song.
The film was planned to be released Friday (Nov 28).
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday stayed the release of the film till December 8 after singer Rabbi Shergill registered a petition alleging that one of the songs in the film was copied from his album ‘Avengi Ja Nahi’, which was released in July 2008.
High Court Justice Rajeev Sahay Eudlan has asked the producers of the film to either remove the song or go for a stay.
A source associated with the film said, “The film will release tomorrow as originally scheduled as the ban has been lifted subject to deletion of the song and the music related to the song from the film. We have given an undertaking to do so.”
The music of the film was released during the last month, and Rabbi moved the HC on Thursday stating that the song, 'Jalte Hain' was similar to his composition 'Ballo'.
“We are not aware that it had any similarity with Rabbi's song. The composer offered it as his original work. The film was all set for release and the stay came as a surprise to us. Thankfully, everything has been solved and the film is releasing on time. We have agreed to remove the song from the film," the source added.
Sorry Bhai featured fantastic stars including Sanjay Suri, Sharman Joshi and Chitrangada Singh in lead roles, supported by Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani.
