Ilayaraja Files Complaint Against Dude Filmmakers for Using His Song Without Permission

Legendary music composer Ilayaraja has once again taken a stand to protect his musical rights. The veteran maestro has reportedly filed a complaint against the makers of the upcoming film Dude for using his iconic song “Karutha Machan” without obtaining proper permission.

This isn’t the first time Ilayaraja has raised such an issue. The composer previously lodged a similar complaint against the team of Good Bad Ugly for unauthorized usage of his composition. Known for being fiercely protective of his creative work, Ilayaraja has repeatedly emphasized the importance of respecting copyright laws and the efforts that go into creating timeless music.

The controversy surrounding Dude has sparked discussions once again in the film industry about the use of classic songs in modern cinema and the need for obtaining proper rights before adaptation or inclusion. While the filmmakers are yet to respond to the complaint, Ilayaraja’s firm stance highlights his commitment to safeguarding the legacy of his music.
