Speaking to바카라 웹사이트The Indian Express바카라 웹사이트at바카라 웹사이트Kolkata바카라 웹사이트Press Club, Nazrul Islam라이브 바카라 grandson Arindam Kazi said, ''Right now, we cannot take any legal action against the producers as licence agreement was made to use the song. We can only make an appeal to drop the AR Rahman라이브 바카라 version of the song from the film. As a large section of the Bengali diaspora is not happy with the new version of such an iconic song, the producers should consider removing it from the film. If not, then they should retain the original composition of the song and include that in the film.”

‘Karar Oi Louho Kopat’바카라 웹사이트was first recorded in June 1949, sung by folk singer Girin Chakraborty.

Arindam라이브 바카라 mother, Kazi Kalyani had given her consent to use the song in the film in 2021 in the presence of her elder son Anirban.

“If we can form a platform or a forum which would make the same appeal to Chief Minister바카라 웹사이트Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose, Prime Minister바카라 웹사이트Narendra Modi, and President바카라 웹사이트Droupadi Murmu, then the producers might get the pressure to remove the song,” added Arindam.

He said that after the death of his mother, who used to handle the copyright issues of Nazrul's songs, one should take his permission and Bangladeshi singer Khilkhil Kazi who is also the granddaughter of Nazrul Islam to use the poet' songs.

Arindam also said that it would take another 15 to 16 years for the copyright of his grandfather라이브 바카라 songs to expire and till then, the family is the custodian of his songs.

Khilkhil Kazi who was also present at the press conference said, “In Bangladesh, there is a Nazrul Institute which works to preserve his songs. If we have to protect his songs, then a committee should be formed by the government to keep his family members and artists from both Bangladesh and India. This would ensure that his songs are not violated in the near future''.바카라 웹사이트
