Delhi High Court Lifts Injunction Against AR Rahman in Copyright Row Over ‘Veera Raja Veera’

The Delhi High Court has dismissed an interim injunction issued against music composer AR Rahman, who was accused of copyright infringement over the composition of the song 'Veera Raja Veera’ from the Tamil film Ponniyin Selvan 2.

The suit, filed by classical singer Faiyaz Wasifuddin Dagar, alleged the composition was copied from Shiva Stuti by his father and uncle, claiming the taal, beat, and musical structure were identical despite different lyrics.

Previously, a single-judge Bench had passed an interim injunction order against Rahman and ordered him and the movie producers to give credit to the Dagar brothers on all online platforms, alongside a fine.
