It featured Vishwatma\u2019s \u201cSaat Samundar,\u201dsomething that Rai wasn\u2019t aware of. Although Saregama has the rights to the songs, other movies cannot use it without his prior permission.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSaat Samundar\u2019s beats are not there in the latest teaser of Tu Meri\u2026 that was released. I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s used in the movie. [Regardless] they can\u2019t use the beats like this, especially when nobody asked my permission to use them. It\u2019s a bad trend where [filmmakers] are using [old] songs and claiming that they are taking [the rights] from the music company. What has happened here is that Saregama thinks it owns the music of Vishwatma.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>He did admit that the latest teaser did not feature the beats to his song but if it is used in the movie, then that would cause a much bigger problem.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Why_TMMTMTTM_Cant_Use_Saat_Samundar\">Why TMMTMTTM Can\u2019t Use Saat Samundar<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n                        <span class=\"source_link picCaption\">\u00a9 Saregama<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mensxp.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\/136139-raveena-tandon-no-kissing-akshay-kumar-conditions-tip-tip-barsa-paani-song-mohra.html\" target=\"_blank\">Rajiv Rai<\/a> went on to elaborate as to how his songs can be used by the label for TV shows and stage performances, but the line gets drawn when other movies want to use them. As such, there is a need to take permission, document it legally and pay him if Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri were to use it in the film.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe label can use the songs [for TV shows and stage performances], but it cannot take the music from my film and put it in another movie. They must approach me for my permission, pay me for it, and everything needs to be documented legally.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cI personally don\u2019t like creating a legal situation as it\u2019s a waste of time, energy, and money&#8230; If any content of our films is used by another film, we will go to court, before or after the release.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Rai further stated that he doesn\u2019t want to be forced to take legal action and has approached Karan Johar\u2019s team for the same.
