T-Series puts copyright strike on use of Singham title track

Rohit Shetty's film Singham Again is all set to release in theatres on Diwali i.e. on November 1. The film will clash with Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will face off in one of the biggest battles at the box office this Diwali. Meanwhile, now, T-Series' music channel has removed the title song of Singham Again from YouTube.

Singham Again title song was removed from YouTube

Let us tell you that the title track of Singham Again was released on the Saregama channel, which has the music rights of the film. T-Series Music, another entity of T-Series, which is also producing Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, has sent a copyright strike on the title track of Singham Again and YouTube has removed the video. This claim was sent because this new title song used 15 seconds of music from the title song of Singham (2011), which is owned by T-Series. After the copyright strike by T-Series, the title track of Singham Again has been removed from Saregama's YouTube channel.

Interestingly, all the songs of Singham and Singham Returns were released by T-Series, the biggest music label in India, owned by Bhushan Kumar, which clearly shows the civil war going on inside Bollywood. This might give a big blow to the promotions of Singham Again, as it has been barely 24 hours since the title track was released.

The censor board ordered the removal of some scenes from the film

Let us tell you that according to the information received, CBFC has censored 7.12 minutes of footage in Singham Again. Although the duration seems long, the cuts are scattered throughout the film. The report further stated that “at two places, the examining committee asked the makers to modify 23-second long 'match cut' scenes of Lord Ram, Sita Mata and Lord Hanuman with Singham, Avni and Simba respectively. Similarly, a 23-second scene of 'Singham touching the feet of Shri Ram' was 'suitably modified'”. The film has been given a U/A certificate.

Singham Again will release on Diwali

Directed by Rohit Shetty, Singham Again will feature Ajay Devgn in the role of Bajirao Singham. Salman Khan will also make a cameo in the film. The film also stars Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff and Arjun Kapoor. The film intertwines the themes of 'good versus evil'. The film Singham Again is all set to release on Diwali. Singham Again is the third installment of the superhit franchise. Singham was released in 2011, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj in the lead roles, followed by Singham Returns in 2014. Both projects were box office hits. The third part will release this Diwali.
