'Kantara' makers ordered to stop playing the song 'Varaha Roopam' in theatres and streaming platforms

The Kozhikode court has issued an order directing the 'Kantara' makers to stop playing the song 'Varaha Roopam' in theaters and streaming platforms. This comes after a plagiarism complaint was filed by Kerala-based band Thaikudam.

They shared the news of the court injunction on Instagram and wrote that the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Kozhikode has injuncted the producer, director, music composer,  Amazon, YouTube, Spotify, Wynk Music, Jiosavan and others from playing the song from 'Varaha Roopam' in the film without the permission of Thaikudam Bridge.

A few days ago, the Indie music band took to social media to announce that 'Kantara' makers allegedly plagiarised their 2015 song 'Navarasam'.

In a statement, the band said that unavoidable similarities between their IP 'Navarasam' and 'Varaha Roopam' is a blatant infringement of copyright laws. They had even warned of a legal action against the creative team.
