Directed by Prakash Raj, Tadka is an upcoming romantic comedy that stars Taapsee Pannu, Nana Patekar, Ali Fazal, Shriya Saran in lead roles. It is a remake of the Malayalam hit film, Salt N' Pepper. The filming began back in 2016 but unfortunately, the film ran into legal trouble over the IP rights of the venture and was on hold. However, the makers have been circulating the promotional song from the film titled Khainch Le Qashh, on social media, which doesn’t seem to go down well with Ali Fazal, who also plays the lead in the film.

Ali took to Twitter and slammed the producers of the film claiming that the makers haven't paid the actors but are running the promotional song, which is an ethical breach. Ali stood up to the issue and called out the producers by tweeting, "There's a court case on the producers of this film as far as i remember. Cheques had bounced. Actors and crew still haven’t gotten paid. Surprised to see a promotional song coming out from the film (sic.)"

Months after the Taapsee Pannu and Ali Fazal starrer ran into a legal debacle, Zee Music uploaded a song from the film on their official YouTube channel yesterday and even tweeted the same from their official handle.

 Zee Music shared the song on their Twitter handle and captioned it, "Get ready to trip on loop, coz we just dropped a LIT song!!" The song is sung by Shivi and Raftaar while the music is produced by Arkane and Kumaar has written the lyrics.

A source close to the development revealed, "Ali was utterly displeased with the rampant flouting of court rules which evidently had kept the film on hold. Additionally, he saw the incident as a breach of ethical conduct on part of the producers who are yet to clear payments for cast and crew but are willing to flaunt their film on social media. Not the one to stay mum on issues close to his heart, he put his version out there to make his stand on the matter clear and show his solidarity with the aggrieved cast and crew,” India Today reported.

On the work front, Ali Fazal is busy shooting his web series Mirzapur. He will soon kick start the promotions of his next film Prasthanam alongside Sanjay Dutt. Taapsee, on the other hand, has interesting films lined up- Saand Ki Aankh opposite Bhumi Pednekar and Mission Mangal, which also stars  Sonakshi Sinha, Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi among others.
