'Krazzy4' set for release with all songs

Hindi film Krazzy4 is set for release today with all song sequences after an advertisement-jingle composer and producer Rakesh Roshan reached a "settlement" shortly after the Mumbai High Court ordered deletion of two songs on plagiarism charges.

After a victory in the Bombay High Court, composer Ram Sampath reached a settlement with producer Rakesh Roshan and gave his consent for the movie's release with all the songs, which were embroiled in the legal case.

Earlier on Thursday, High Court had upheld Sampath's case prima facie, restraining Roshan from releasing the movie with the songs. Sampath had claimed that his tunes had been copied for two songs – 'Krazzy4' (title song) and 'Break-free' – and their remixed versions.

But in the afternoon, Sampath reached a settlement with Roshan, and both the parties approached Justice D G Karnik for revocation of his earlier order.

"I won the case, and then we settled the matter "inside the court", Sampath said.

"We went back to the Judge, and got the (earlier) order vacated," he added.

However, he declined to divulge the terms of the settlement. "Once we end the case formally, the settlement will be in the public domain," the composer said.

Sampath's case was that his tunes for the advertisement for Sony Eriksson cell-phones was copied by music composer and Rakesh's brother Rajesh Roshan .

Reports are that Rakesh Roshan has struck a Rs 2-crore deal with Sampath in return of allowing to release of the film.

The two songs are the major highlights of the film as they have been picturised on superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan .

Seeing no other way out, Roshan decided to give in to Sampath’s claim of Rs 2 crore and buy out the music rights to release the songs as well as allow the sale of audio CDs and DVDs in the market.
