Pritam Reacts To Cocktail 2 Mashooqa Plagiarism Allegations

Recently, Cocktail 2 makers released their latest song, Mashooqa; however, netizens alleged that the tune of the song was copied from a 1993 Italian track, Se So Arrubate A Nonna. Later, Pritam addressed these allegations on social media and expressed his displeasure over them.

Taking to his Instagram handle, he wrote, “Every single one of my song releases comes with a set of self-appointed music detectives, who have created a new genre called ‘imaginary similarities’. Same people, same ‘inspired by’ thesis.. Boss, at this point, you are my unpaid PR team..I just want to say guys, NOT NICE."

Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 is the sequel to the 2012 film Cocktail and features Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty in lead roles.
