"Composed by music director Pritam, the 'Zor Ka Jhatka' song is lifted from two of my songs written years ago," Kumar Bhabesh alleged.
"The 'mukhra' (first stanza) of the song is copied from my album 'Sunpahi' published seven years ago, while the 'antara' (middle stanza) has been copied from the 'Ruksana' song of my 2008 album 'Roja'," he said.
On what took him so long to raise the issue, Bhabesh said he was away on a two-month music project in a remote village in Assam's Karbi Anglong district.
Demanding due credit for his work, he said "If they used my scores then they should have given due credit and informed me at least." The music composer said that he would consult lawyers within a couple of days.Pritam could not be contacted immediately, while the producers of the film refused comment.
Recently, the soundtrack of the superhit number 'Munni Badnaam Hui' from 'Dabangg' was said to have been inspired by a Bhojpuri song 'Launda Badnaam Hua Naseeban Tere Liye'.
