Kirik Party hero Rakshit Shetty breaks silence on the film's audio controversy after many years and gives a shocking news

Kannada film Kirik Party is a big hit at the box-office. All the songs from the audio album became huge hits. During the film's release, the film landed in a controversy, when one of the songs from the film faced copy allegations from a song Madya Ratrili, owned by Lahari Music. A person named Shyam Prasad posted about the same on Twitter, saying, "Lahari Audio has alleged that the 'Hey Who Are You Song' in Kirik Party had copied from the 'Madya Ratrili' song from Shanti Kranti without permission."

Much to the surprise of everyone, Rakshit Shetty issued a clarification to the media now, where he stated that the issue is no longer valid as it got closed long back. Rakshit opened up that he wantedly did not want to make a news out of it and hence remained silent. In a series of tweets, Rakshit Shetty issued the following clarification. "This one says ‘the summons was duly served and ACKNOWLEDGMENTS received in court’. None of us got summoned directly nor anyone in my office or @AJANEESHB studio received any letter. Who signed the acknowledgment letters then? I would love to see those signatures. Last time when they had put a case against us (After a month of the music release but exactly a day before the premiere show)... their advocate contacted us and gave us the stay order for film release and took an acknowledgment personally from each of us. We decided to fight back for what we believed was right and not budge to these. Our film release was under risk but we stood our ground. Luckily we were able to cut the song at the last moment and release the film. With court permission, we included the song the second week. After a year of hard work, when we should have been celebrating the release and success of KP, we were running around managing legal issues on the previous night of the release and this continued for the next few days. We celebrated the success only after the song added back. A year later when we won that case, the whole team celebrated but we did not announce it in public for we didn't want the losing party to be targeted again in any way. In fact, we thanked them in solitude. Court, Kacheri was a new experience for us and we got to learn new things. I never spoke about it before for good reasons, but seems like there are many more beautiful experiences and new learnings coming our way. This time I will keep you all updated. This is going to be fun."
