Producer Sajid Nadiadwala must’ve heaved a sigh of relief when the Calcutta high court ordered that the Apni toh jaise taise song from his Housefull need not be deleted till the date of next hearing which is slated for June. For, for all practical purposes, the run of the film is likely to be exhausted by then and it wouldn’t make much of a difference if the court asked him to delete the controversial song after a month. It may be mentioned here that late Prakash Mehra’s son has dragged Nadiadwala, HMV Saregama and T-Series to court over the inclusion of the song in Housefull, claiming that HMV Saregama had no authority to sell to Sajid Nadiadwala the rights to use the song in his film, and, likewise, T-Series had no authority to market CDs and audio cassettes of Housefull containing the song which was originally penned and recorded by Prakash Mehra for his film, Namak Halaal.
