What is the Rakshit Shetty and MRT Music label controversy?
Rakshit Shetty and his production house have landed in legal trouble after a copyright case was filed against them for allegedly using a music firm’s songs in his recent film Bachelor Party without permission.
The film was produced by Rakshit Shetty under Paramvah Studios and was released on January 26, 2024. The Bengaluru Police have registered the FIR and are currently investigating the case.
As per a report in India Today, Naveen Kumar, a partner at MRT Music accused Shetty, and his production house Paramvah Studios of using songs from the movies Nyaya Ellide and Gaalimaathu without permission.
The Charlie 777 actor and MRT Music had discussed acquiring the rights to these songs in January 2024 but were unsuccessful. Naveen realized the usage of those songs only after watching Bachelor Party.
Earlier, Rakshit was involved in a four-year legal tussle with Lahari Velu, director of Lahari Music. Velu had accused Rakshit of copyright violation when his film Kirik Party was released in 2016.
