Sunny Deol starrer Gadar 2 has achieved massive success at the box office and is still receiving immense love even in its third week after release. However Despite all the love from the audience, the film has now embroiled in controversy as music composer Uttam Singh recently accused the makers of Gadar 2 of using his work without permission. The controversy revolves around two songs titled ‘Udd Ja Kaale Kaava’ and ‘Main Nikla Gaddi Leke’.

According to Singh, he wasn’t informed that these two songs are being used in the sequel and he asserted that giving him credit was not enough. In an interview with Amar Ujala, Uttam Singh said, “They didn’t call me for Gadar 2 and I don’t have the habit of calling and asking for work. They have used two of my songs in the film and I have also heard that they have used the background music that I composed. They should at least have the etiquette to ask me once and talk to me before using my songs in the film.”

Now, Gadar 2 director Anil Sharma has reacted to these allegations and told The Times of India, “I showed Uttamji all the songs. Mujhe hairani hai ki unhone ab aisa statement diya hai (I am shocked he gave such a statement). Technically, the rights were with the label. Mera aur Uttamjji ka dil ka rishta hai aur yeh sab sunkar mujhe bahut hairani hai (We have a close relationship and I am shocked at hearing what he has said). I still can’t believe it. Now that I know about this, I will definitely speak to him.”
