Housefull gets a legal notice

Prakash Mehra Productions has sent a legal notice to Sajid Nadiadwala, T Series and HMV for using the Aapni to jaise taise song from Laawaris in their film Housefull. The song has already been picturised and currently the promos are being aired.
Punit Mehra, the son of late Prakash Mehra, said, “Since the case is in court, I would not like to comment.” However, Ramesh Ningoo, the chief accountant of Prakash Mehra Productions said, “We have sent a legal notice but we are yet to get a reply from them.The lyrics were written by Prakashji himself.”
On his part Sajid Nadiadwala countered, “We received the legal notice on Wednesday. T Series and HMV are addressing the problem. We have grown up watching films of Prakash Mehra and listening to the music of Kalyanji-Anandji. At the end of the day, ours is a small fraternity. Everything should be resolved amicably.
Prakashji was once associated with our company and so were Kalyanjibhai and Anandjibhai.
We have a contract with HMV and if we had been aware that the rights were with Prakash Mehra Productions, we would definitely have got in touch with them.
I am embarrassed to be in this situation.”
