"Allegation of stealing for Bhram is baseless and demeaning" - Pritam

2007 saw him reaching the pinnacle of success with four successful
albums in a row - Life In A Metro, Jab We Met, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and
Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal. However, as has been the case with the prolific
composer ever since he created 'dhoom' with 'Dhoom Macha Le' [Dhoom],
his career has been mired with charges of plagiarism month after
month.
Though the composer had admitted about his source of inspiration and
reasons behind similarities in a few cases, some of the recent
developments have left him completely baffled, shocked and above all
disappointed! Reason? He has been charged with lifting from a Bengali
song for one of his compositions in Magna Films' Bhram when the fact
is that Pritam has officially bought all the rights for the original
source of the song.
Unable to control his anger, Pritam fumes, "I hate mud slinging, but
this allegation is baseless and demeaning. It is being purposely done
to make a controversy and promote the film. Yes, the song in question
here, 'Jaane Kyun Tanha Ho Gaye', is indeed an adaptation but all the
necessary paperwork has been done to make it legal. For the original
number 'Ghare Pheraar Gaan', I myself went ahead and bought the
copyright from Asha Audio by spending my own money."
