Court Bars 'Dude' from Using Ilaiyaraaja Songs
The Madras High Court has temporarily stopped the movie 'Dude' from using two songs by the famous composer Ilaiyaraaja.
The court made this decision because Ilaiyaraaja said the movie makers used his songs without permission.
The movie makers say they got the rights from Sony Music, which owns the songs.
The court will hear more about this on January 7.
Madras High Court temporarily barred 'Dude' from using Ilaiyaraaja's songs.
