Summary
- Artist alleges song 'Shoorveer' used without permission.
- Song was a tribute to Maharana Pratap, artist claims.
- Artist threatens legal action over unauthorized song use.
The recently released 'Mirzapur: The Movie' is embroiled in a copyright dispute. Musician Rapperiya Baalam alleges that his song 'Shoorveer,' a tribute to Maharana Pratap, was incorporated into the film without his consent.
Baalam shared his dismay on social media, noting the song's placement alongside a sequence depicting gangsters. He questioned the ethical implications of using a song honoring a historical figure in such a context.
The artist emphasized he would have been open to collaboration had the filmmakers approached him directly. He is now considering legal steps to address the perceived insult to Rajasthan and Maharana Pratap.
As of September 6, 2026, the filmmakers have not issued a public statement regarding these accusations. The film, directed by Gurmeet Singh, marks the franchise's transition to the big screen.
