In this world of borrowed entertainment, we come across lot of Indian music composers and filmmakers being accused of plagiarizing; when they reply that they were just inspired by those international pieces.
But, the thing that happened is just the opposite. Internationally acclaimed American rapper T-Pain has been accused of getting ‘inspired’ by the song Tum Hi Ho, from the movie Aashique 2!
Now that’s something to catch everyone’s attention!
Mohit Suri, the director of Aashique 2 spotted it first and took to twitter to express his dismay.
Dunno why but this seems familiar 🙈🙈🙈 #aashiqui2 #tumhiho @TPAIN https://t.co/69NJvAujsT . It’s a melody from Mithun’s song buddy @Mithoon11 @raiisonai @itsBhushanKumar
