Chennai : In a setback to music director Ilaiyaraaja , Madras high court on Monday refused any interim relief in a suit moved by him seeking to restrain the makers of the Tamil movie Mrs&Mr from using a song composed by him. Justice Senthilkumar Ramammoorthy refused to grant any interim order without hearing the respondents and adjourned the hearing for two weeks to allow Vanitha Vijayakumar Productions to file its counter.
Ilaiyaraaja alleged that the song, ‘Siva Rathiri’, composed by him for the Tamil movie ‘Michael Madana Kama Rajan’ was used without his authorization. He wanted the court to direct the makers of the movie, Vanitha Vijayakumar Productions and Jovika Vijayakumar, to abstain from using the song in the movie.
He alleged that besides using the song in the film, the makers of Mrs&Mr also altered the song without his permission. He claimed that such use of his song amounts to infringement of his copyright. He wanted the court to pass an interim injunction restraining the makers from using his composition in any way pending disposal of the suit
