<\/p>\nThe teaser of the Hindi version of Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha, was launched with a lot of fanfare on December 18, at a five-star hotel in Mumbai, in the presence of lead actors Mrunal Thakur, Adivi Sesh, and Anurag Kashyap, along with director Shaneil Deo. The teaser was loved for its mass-appealing treatment and the creative use of the song \u2018Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast\u2019 from Mohra (1994), featuring Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon. The film was directed by Rajiv Rai who has often taken objection and even legal action for the utilization of the tracks from his films. Very recently, the veteran filmmaker dragged Dharma Productions, Namah Pictures Pvt Ltd, music label Saregama India Ltd and singer Badshah to court alleging that it infringed his banner Trimurti Films\u2019 copyright over the song \u2018Saat Samundar Paar\u2019 from Vishwatma (1992) in the upcoming film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.<\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE: Rajiv Rai opens on use of \u2018Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast\u2019 in Dacoit \u2013 \u201cI have given them permission; they have paid me\u2026People may assume there\u2019s an issue as I always take objection!\u201d<\/p>\n
Bollywood Hungama<\/strong> exclusively contacted Rajiv Rai to ask if he plans to take action against the makers of Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha as well or whether they incorporated the song after securing his permission?<\/p>\n Rajiv Rai, currently in Dubai, clarified to Bollywood Hungama<\/strong>, \u201cIts legitimate. There\u2019s no breach of contract. I have given them the permission. They have paid me for it as well. They were negotiating with my legal team for the last 2-3 months. So, the whole process was very clear and clean. There\u2019s no issue there. People may think that there\u2019s an issue as I always take objection! However, I take objection when they do it without consent.\u201d<\/p>\n Rajiv Rai continued, \u201cHowever, the makers of Dacoit were very good to me. I also got a call from Annapurna Studios; Supriya Yarlagadda, Nagarjuna\u2019s niece, spoke to me. They are very well-behaved people. They went about it in a proper way.\u201d<\/p>\n Recently, Rajiv Rai also gave the rights to the song \u2018Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela\u2019 from Gupt (1997) for a crucial scene in Aryan Khan\u2019s web series, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood. In September 2025, Rajiv Rai told Bollywood Hungama<\/strong>, \u201cShah Rukh Khan told me, \u2018It\u2019s my son\u2019s first show\u2019. He was very polite and respectful. He\u2019s a gentleman; how can you say \u2018No\u2019 to him? Also, it was for his son. I didn\u2019t blink an eyelid. I told him, \u2018Take whatever you want\u2019! I don\u2019t say that to anyone. I am not an easy guy to deal with (laughs)!\u201d<\/p>\n Also Read: Dacoit Hindi teaser out: Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur power a gritty action drama with Anurag Kashyap in a key role<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n More Pages: Dacoit Box Office Collection<\/a>Tags : <\/strong> Adivi Sesh<\/a>, Akshay Kumar<\/a>, Anurag Kashyap<\/a>, Bilingual<\/a>, Dacoit<\/a>, Dharma Productions<\/a>, Features<\/a>, Mohra<\/a>, Mrunal Thakur<\/a>, Music<\/a>, Namah Pictures Pvt Ltd<\/a>, Rajiv Rai<\/a>, Raveena Tandon<\/a>, Shaneil Deo<\/a>, Song<\/a>, Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast<\/a> Catch us for latest Bollywood News<\/a>, New Bollywood Movies<\/a> update, Box office collection<\/a>, New Movies Release <\/a>, Bollywood News Hindi<\/a>, Entertainment News<\/a>, Bollywood Live News Today<\/a> & Upcoming Movies 2025<\/a> and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The teaser of the Hindi version of Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha, was launched with a lot of fanfare…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[263],"tags":[127537,6963,15821,127538,90451,77221,18,117,3617,19,17,127539,327,534,337,127540,127541,54229,127542,35204,127543],"class_list":["post-242588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-adivi-sesh","tag-akshay-kumar","tag-anurag-kashyap","tag-bilingual","tag-dacoit","tag-dharma-productions","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-features","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mohra","tag-movies","tag-mrunal-thakur","tag-music","tag-namah-pictures-pvt-ltd","tag-rajiv-rai","tag-raveena-tandon","tag-shaneil-deo","tag-song","tag-tu-cheez-badi-hai-mast-mast"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115751422927486092","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
