Summary
- Cocktail 2 song 'Mashooqa' faces plagiarism claims.
- Singer Raghav Chaitanya calls allegations baseless.
- Film set for June 19 release with Shahid Kapoor.
The upcoming film Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Kriti Sanon, is facing controversy just a month before its scheduled June 19 release.
A recently released song from the film, titled 'Mashooqa,' has drawn accusations of plagiarism, with comparisons made to a 1993 Italian track.
Singer Raghav Chaitanya, who lent his voice to 'Mashooqa,' has publicly defended music composer Pritam Chakraborty, dismissing the plagiarism allegations as "completely baseless."
Chaitanya asserted that 'Mashooqa' is an original composition, explaining that perceived melodic similarities in music do not constitute copying. He encouraged listeners to experience the song fully before forming conclusions based on online comparisons.
