It looks like Ajith Kumar`s action entertainer Good Bad Ugly has landed in legal trouble, as well-known Indian music composer Ilaiyaraaja has now sent a legal notice to Mythri Movie Makers, the production house behind the film. Ilaiyaraaja sent the legal notice seeking an apology and compensation of ₹5 crore for using his songs in the film without acquiring his permission.
According to a report by IANS, Ilaiyaraaja’s lawyer, Saravanan Annadurai, while talking to a news channel on the issue, said, “We have sent a notice to Mythri Movie Makers, who have made this movie. They have used three songs — ‘Otha Rubai Tharen’, ‘Ilamai Idho Idho’ and ‘En Jodi Manja Kurvi’ — of music director Ilaiyaraaja in their film without getting his permission. Therefore, we have asked that they pay compensation.”
