| Controversy | Accused Salim Merchant of Copying his Song In 2019, Farhan made a tweet in which accused the Indian film director Salim Merchant of copying the notes of his song “Roiyaan” in the Hindi song “Haareya.” [4]India Today Farhan tweeted, “Someone just sent me @salim_merchant song HAREYA, which is a total copy of my song ROIYAAN. I wonder they have the audacity to call themselves artists when they steal someone’s work. Karna hi hai to pooch ke kuro aur ager poochna nahin hai to at least acha to kuro! #stopstealing.” His tweet went viral and grabbed the attention of Salim Merchant. Salim then retweeted, “Farhan I just heard your song. It’s a mere coincidence that the chorus of Haareya is like your song. To be honest I’ve never heard it before. It happens many a times when notes have a natural progression from each other. @Sulaiman & I have a track record of never plagiarising.” Farhan was not convinced with Salim’s answer and retweeted, “@salim_merchant if you say so! Another co-incidence is we have the same lyricist! Anyway good luck!” Later, Salim tweeted, “Why don’t you check with him! If i had to copy, I would have done that way long back in my career. I really wish I had heard your song before I made mine. Would have surely made changes to our composition to make it sound different from yours. Anyway, Hope you understand.” |
