Dr Zeus threatens legal action over Badshah’s 'Don't Be Shy' remake in 'Bala'


The makers of Ayushmann Khurrana starrer 'Bala' dropped their first single 'Don't Be Shy' from the film. It is a recreated version of a song by Rouge and Dr Zeus with the same name. 

The reprised version features Ayushmann Khurrana in a bald avatar, struggling to hide his bald-patch with a wig as he groves to the melody of the song, that has maintained some of the original elements that made it a hit. 

The new song is composed by the famous duo, Sachin-Jigar, the song is sung by Shalmali Kholgade and Badshah. 

However, this didn't go well with the original composer of the song, Dr Zeus. He took to his Twitter to bash the makers of the film, Badshah and Sachin-Jigar. 

He tweeted, "Are u guys taking the piss @sonymusicindia @MaddockFilms @Its_Badshah @SonyMusicUK @SachinJigarLive wen did u compose don’t b shy & kangna.. more to the point how dare u guys b riding off ma old hits & fuckin them up??? 

Ya need to get original🖕🏽My lawyers will b in touch🖕🏽"

And now, Badshah has made his statement over his Twitter handle and said that he respects Dr. Zeuss and he will clear the misunderstanding if there is any. His tweets read, "I am aware of the situation around ‘Dont be shy’. 

I want to start by saying that i love And respect @drzeusworld paaji immensely and he knows it. He has the right to get angry with me because he’s my senior and ive learnt a lot from him. 

And he is the last person id want (contd)" "to go through something like this. I got on the song, which has been recreated by my dear friends Sachin Jigar, only after making sure we had the necessary rights. 

But still if there’s any misunderstanding, ill make sure it gets cleared asap. I support Zeus Paaji.
