Sadak 2's trailer track sounds eerily similar to this Pakistani song from 2011

Sadak 2's trailer track sounds eerily similar to this Pakistani song from 2011

The original music producer, Shezan Saleem aka JO-G has tweeted about the shocking discovery with video evidence.

Phew, Mahesh Bhatt's directorial comeback, Sadak 2 is not off to a good start.

The trailer for the upcoming Bollywood flick has racked up nearly 7 million dislikes on YouTube, owing to the fact that the movie stars Bhatt's daughter, Alia Bhatt in the lead role and the debate on star kids and nepotism is currently under a magnifying glass in India, especially following Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide.

Now, the movie is being slammed on Twitter for possibly plagiarising the work of a Pakistani musician.

Shezan Saleem who goes by JO-G tweeted a video playing both his composition from 2011 for 'Rabba Ho' by Zaid Khan and the new trailer track from Sadak 2 called 'Ishq Kamaal':

Saleem asked followers to weigh in and share what they think and most agreed with him that the two tunes sounded pretty much identical. However, he also clarified that he was not attacking the Bhatt family:

Pooja Bhatt, Mahesh's other daughter who also stars in the movie had previously shared that they will be introducing fresh talent with the soundtrack.

"Sadak 2 gives birth to a brand new talent in the form of Sunlijeet. A music teacher from Chandigarh who came to our office with no prior appointment, a dream, a harmonium and a brilliant song called ‘Ishq Kamaal’ that was absorbed into the film on first hearing by my father,” she had shared, according to Hindustan Times.

Sadak 2 is the sequel to the 1991 film Sadak; the sequel stars Sanjay Dutt, Pooja, Alia and Aditya Roy Kapur. It is slated for release on August 28 on Disney+ Hotstar.

Sue Disney! If they are lending their name to crapy bolly movies then they should pay for it as well. Should be a nice sum.

A few seconds of similarity does not imply plagiarism.

Sociologists should try to find out why stealing , cheating and dishonesty comes so naturally to Bollywood. We know only of the music they steal from us. There may be hundreds of songs which have been lifted from music of other nations.

Mahesh Bhatt is famous for stealing Hollywood stories, dialogues, scripts, picturization, acting, title, Poster, Music etc. Pakistani artist should be filed a plagiarism case against him in the World court.

More than 80% of Bollywood songs are copied from Pakistan, Bollywood copies movie from Hollywood, so they have a habit of doing so.

What's so surprising? Indian films copy material from all over the world.

If we chant the slogan of art without borders then why to create hue and cry over the issue of song having similarities with one created within our side of the border. Let people appreciate the music which perhaps was made by you. This is yet a form of your success.

Sounds like plaigirism for sure. Sadly, despite the bigger budget, the movie version still sounds lack lustre. I believe a lot of Bollywood sounds are stolen from around the globe.

Such a generic composition- I can probably think of 10 songs of the past 10 years which sound pretty much the same.

The children of actors and directors are now in leading roles. It is almost like talent only flow via DNA and not something one can work towards. This is why I don't watch Bollywood at all.

The songs are only similar on the tune. If two persons from different country resemble, the mother's integrity cannot be questioned.
