The court found a song in Mani Ratnam’s film identical to a classical composition by late musician duo Junior Dagar Brothers, directing the composer & Madras Talkies to pay up over Rs 2 cr.
My one quarrel with Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan is that it emphasises on the war-mongering elements of Chola history not on their aesthetic, administrative achievements.
Dhrupad maestro Ustad Wasifuddin Dagar has alleged that AR Rahman's song Veera Raja Veera in Ponniyin Selvan 2 'lifted' materials from 'Shiva Stuti' that his father and uncle had composed.

The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
