Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court restrained the use of the 1981 hit song 'Apne to jayse tayse' from Amitabh Bachchan starrer Laawaris in the Sajid Khan directed Housefull, which premiered on Friday.
In an interim stay till June 2, Justice Nadira Patherya today restrained producer Sajid Nadiadwala from the cinematic use of the Kalyanji-Anandji number in the new film, where it has been remixed with another song Dhanno.
Anandji and the heirs of music directors Kalyanji had filed a suit before the High Court claiming that the producers of Housefull had used the song 'Apne to jayse tayse, thodi aise ya oyse' without the copyright.
Heirs of Prakash Mehra, producer of Laawaris, also filed a separate suit before the court claiming that the song was written by the late Mehra and the right to the lyrics remained with them.
After hearing the two songs, which had similarities prima facie, Justice Patherya ordered the injunction restraining the defendants from using the number till June 2.
Justice Patherya directed the parties to file affidavits in two weeks and the matter would be heard again after three weeks.
