Kaul told that independent hip hop music company ‘Kalamkar’ and his team would take a legal stand against the Disney Hotstar who performed the IPL song. Kaul said, “Disney Hotstar has no choice but to go through the legal process and our company will fight against this theft.”
Malpe said that four members of the MCAI jury tested both songs separately and found no similarities. Malpe told PTI-Language, “MCAI is a prestigious institution and the members of the jury are very experienced. I think we should welcome their decision and not give up on this controversy. ”
