Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri: The Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday led romantic comedy will hit the big screens on December 25. The movie is bankrolled by Dharma Productions and is directed by Sameer Sanjay Vidwans. Days before release, the movie has reportedly hit a roadblock.
 

As per Bar and Bench, Trimurti Films Pvt Ltd has approached the Bombay High Court against Dharma Productions over copyright of the song Saat Samundar Paar (orginally from 1992). In their plea, the production house has demanded ₹10 crore in damages and has moved for a permanent injunction against the use of the song or its remix versions, lyrics and tune in this or any other movie. Along with Dharma Productions, the suit also names Namah Pictures Pvt Ltd, music label Saregama India Ltd and rapper‑composer Baadshah as defendants.

Not just Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, many movies recently have run into legal trouble particularly over the remixing of songs. Over the years, the reliance on remixes of old Hindi songs and remastered versions of classics has increased drastically. From qawallis to once chartbusters and indie pops, Bollywood movies recently have been giving a new spin to the already existing songs to invoke a sense of nostalgia mixed with modern appeal.
