(Aditya Shaw, Intern Journalist): The Indian Premier League released its official anthem – Aayenge Hum Back – for the 2020 season and was mired in controversy as it was released. The IPL is being made in the UAE this time due to the Coronavirus global epidemic. Due to this, Indian fans will not be able to go to the stadium and watch the match.
Delhi-based rapper Krishna Kaul has alleged plagiarism via social media that the anthem was taken from his 2017 song ‘Dekh Kaun Aaya Back’. His words, ‘When I saw it, it became very clear that it was a copy. How can two songs have the same lyrics and melodies? Now there should be no objection to asking for credit. Now the song has been released but I want him to accept that this song has been copied from my song.
Krishna said that his legal team has sought answers from the league and its official broadcaster Star. Although the IPL has not officially responded to this, a league source has said, “The song was composed by an outside agency and the league and the broadcaster had no role in preparing it.” It is not known when he will respond to Krishna’s talk. This anthem is sung by Rohit Kumar Chaudhary, also known as RCR rapper. Music by Pranav Ajayrao Malpe. Malpe is better known by his stage name Dhruv Chaudhary. Dhuvar declined to comment more on the controversy. He, however, dismissed the allegations of plagiarism. He said, ‘This song has been prepared by me and my team with hard work and efforts. The song lyrics are also completely different. ‘
