FIR Filed Against Rakshit Shetty and Paramvah Studios for Unauthorized Use of Songs in “Bachelor Party”
Actor and filmmaker Rakshit Shetty is facing legal trouble as an FIR has been filed against him and his production company, Paramvah Studios, over allegations of copyright violation.
The complaint, lodged by Naveen Kumar, a partner at MRT Music, accuses Shetty and his team of using the songs “Omme Ninnannu” and “Nyaya Ellide” in their film “Bachelor Party” without proper authorization. This film premiered on Amazon Prime in March 2024.
The issue arose after attempts to resolve the matter through discussions failed. Kumar alleges that these songs, originally from other films, were used in “Bachelor Party” without securing the necessary rights. Rakshit Shetty has yet to publicly respond to these allegations.
This is not the first time Shetty has faced such accusations. Prior to the release of “Kirik Party,” a similar complaint was filed by Lahari Music, claiming that a song in the film plagiarized a tune from a track they owned.
“Bachelor Party,” directed by Abhijit Mahesh and produced by Rakshit Shetty, stars Diganth, Yogi, and Achyuth Kumar, among others. The film, which is described as a comedic take on a chaotic bachelor party, has been compared to the Hollywood hit “The Hangover” but is noted for its more grounded approach.
