Kasthuri Raja to Sue 'Good Bad Ugly' Makers for Song Use
Kasthuri Raja, a movie director, is upset because the movie 'Good Bad Ugly' used some of his old songs without asking for permission.
It's like borrowing a toy without telling its owner.
He thinks it's not right and says new filmmakers should be more original.
He plans to take legal action, meaning he'll ask the courts for help.
This situation is like the earlier notice from Ilaiyaraaja and brings up the topic of respecting artists and their work.
Kasthuri Raja is planning legal action against the makers of 'Good Bad Ugly' for using his songs without permission.
The film includes Kasthuri Raja's songs such as 'Panju Mittai', 'Oththa Ruba Thaaren' and 'Thoothuvalai Ilai Araichi'.
Raja criticized the lack of originality among modern composers who rely on nostalgia.
Raja believes that permission should be obtained from original creators before using older songs.
Ilaiyaraaja previously sent a legal notice for unauthorized song use, demanding compensation.
