Adnan Sami to sue Shahid's Chance Pe Dance

By Subhash K Jha

Poor Pritam. He didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to do a song for Chance Pe Dance in addition to Adnan Sami's music score.On Saturday morning Adnan Sami was startled to hear that a song has been added to the soundtrack without his consent.

Says Adnan, "I had no clue about this. They can't add any song to my soundtrack. The contract says so. And if they still go ahead I'll have to take legal action. I don't mind. I'm in and out of courts anyway."

Pritam is rightly embarrassed by these developments. "I had no clue Adnan didn't know about the song. Bhooshan Kumar of T Series asked me to 3-4 songs for him, and the track Don't stop by Neeraj Sridhar was one of them. Since Bhooshan is a friend I gave him the songs. But I had no idea they'd be used in this way.I've been told the song won't be part of the CD."

On Saturday Pritam called up Adnan to explain his stance. However Adnan is far from pacified. And intends to go ahead with legal action.

The film's director Ken Ghosh has a totally different story to tell. "Pritam is mistaken. His song will be part of the soundtrack. But it won't be in the film. We're doing a promotional video out of Pritam's song. I'm sure the music company, Adnan and Pritam can work this out amicably."

But with Adnan in no mood for compromise it looks like the battle for ownership over the Chance Pe Dance soundtrack will continue.

Says Adnan, "I've nothing against Pritam. He's a sweet chap.. But I can't let this happen. If let a song from the outside seep into my soundtrack it'd set a new precedent."

Pritam absolutely agrees, "Adnan must not allow it. The only way I'd do an extra song is someone else's score is if everyone is in the know. For example Akshay Kumar has asked me to do one song for Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan.

I'm okay with that, since there's no secrecy behind it.I had no clue the number Don't Stop was going to be used in Chance Pe Dance. "
