Ilaiyaraaja Settles Copyright Dispute Over 'Manjummel Boys'
News summary

The Malayalam film 'Manjummel Boys', directed by Chidambaram, faced a copyright dispute with renowned composer Ilaiyaraaja over the unauthorized use of his song 'Kanmani Anbodu' from the film 'Guna'. Ilaiyaraaja initially sought Rs 2 crore in compensation but after negotiations, the producers settled for Rs 60 lakh. Despite the song being credited in the film, Ilaiyaraaja's legal team argued that no formal permission was obtained for its usage. The controversy was intensified by public criticism of Ilaiyaraaja for taking legal action against a young film team instead of fostering their talent. The financial resolution allows both parties to move forward, although the case highlights ongoing issues regarding copyright in the film industry. 'Manjummel Boys' has grossed over Rs 200 crore, further complicating the narrative around its use of Ilaiyaraaja's music.
