The Kerala High Court has stayed all further proceedings based on the Kozhikode Chief Judicial Magistrate Court’s directive to the police to seize the agreements/contracts relating to the composition of the song ‘Varaharoopam...’ used in Kantara, a Kannada film.
The court issued the order recently on a petition filed by Vijay Kirgandur and B.L. Ajaneesh, producer and music director respectively of the film. The magistrate court’s order came on a complaint seeking an investigation and seizure of materials related to the song.
According to the complaint, the song Varaharoopam... is an unauthorised copy of the song Navarasam composed by a Kochi-based music band, Thaikkudam Bridge, and screened in a TV show.
