AR Rahman to sue T-series over Katrina’s ad
The hottest amongst all ‘cold drink’ ads being aired is ‘Slice’ ad 2011. Katrina Kaif appears in this ad sipping in some pulpy mangoes. There is no problem with the ad except for the AR Rahman’s tune in the background.
It is the same ‘Lathika’s theme’ which introduced Freida Pinto in Rahman’s double Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire. Rahman’s got back the rights to this tune after being sold to T-series.
Rahman has claimed that the makers of the ad used the theme without his knowledge and his lawyers have taken bold steps, ensuring to sue T-series. T-series and Rahman’s lawyers are engaged in heated debate over the rights of the ad and soon there will be settlement to this dispute soon. T-Series Owner Bhushan Kumar defended himself by saying that there has been some miss-communication between Rahman and his office people claiming the latter were not aware of the tie up.
