'Ishq Kamaal is an original composition & not a copy,' says 'Sadak 2' composer Suniljeet

Recently, music producer Shezan Saleem aka JO-G said that a song played in the trailer for the upcoming movie Sadak 2, directed by Mahesh Bhatt, sounds like a composition he had created in the year 2011. However, Sadak 2's music composer Suniljeet revealed that Ishq Kamaal is an original composition and not a copy.

Music composer Suniljeet goes on to deny the same saying, "'Ishq Kamaal' is my original composition and doesn't share a resemblance to any other song. Everybody involved in making this song including singer Javed Ali has added his magic to the music. This is my debut as a music director and all I hope for is that people like the song when it comes out. Shalu Vaish and I have worked with all our heart to live up to the expectation of Sadak 2 music,” according to Suniljeet's spokesperson/ PR team.
