Legal Notice sent to Boney Kapoor
By Webmaster, 8 June, 2008

Boney Kapoor and Kamaal Khan have been slapped a legal notice by producer Kishore Kumar Dhingra of Mega Sound Entertainments accusing Kamaal Khan of stealing his song and selling it to Boney Kapoor for his Salman-Ayesha starrer Wanted-Dead or Alive.

Producer Kishore Kumar Dhingra informs,"Kamaal could not come down to Mumbai as he had some visa issues. So I met him in London where I gave him Rs 50,000 as signing amount. Later, I paid him another Rs 50,000. Since Kamaal and Salman are very good friends, he even came up with the proposal of casting Salman in the film. To entice Salman we recorded the song 'Ishk Vishk Pyaar Kar Le', which had lyrics by Sameer and music by Sajid-Wajid. Salim-Sulieman were the music arrangers for this song. However, even after all this hard work, the film did not work out for some reason."

Kishore Kumar Dhingra and Kamaal Khan were still together and had opened an office in Juhu. After some time, when things did not work out between the two, they went their separate ways. Adds Dhingra, "It was only last week that I came to know that Kamaal has sold my song to Boney Kapoor. Kamaal had taken the master print from the studio without my knowledge. That's when I sent a legal notice to both Kamaal and Boney. I will stall the release of the film if they don't own up their deed. I will definitely sue Kamaal for cheating me of my song. I have given both of them seven days to get back to me."

When contacted, Kamaal Khan hung up the phone saying, "I don't know who you are talking about." However, Boney Kapoor was more forthcoming. He said, "We definitely have a song in our film which has already been shot. I have a contract with Kamaal for which I have already paid him. I don't think Kamaal is capable of cheating. As far as the notice goes, I am out of town, when I return to Mumbai I will definitely check on it."

We also contacted lyricist Sameer to find out his version of the story. He said, "Yes it is true that we had done the song with Kamaal Khan long back. I was later told by Wajid (of Sajid-Wajid fame) that the song would be used in Wanted. However, I am not yet informed officially about it and yes, Kishore was present in all the song sittings and recordings."
