Even as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan will take his fight for justice with Kancha Cheena to another level in the remake of Agneepath, which releases today, Dharma Productions and Karan Johar, the producer of the film, will continue the legal battle in district court of Nagpur on copyright of a song in the film.

A long-drawn legal battle seems to be in offing over song 'O Sayian'. City based civil engineer and musician Aditya Salankar, who had charged that Dharma had used his song in the movie without permission or credit, had secured an order from the court on Monday that the producers of Agneepath should delete the song from the film and music CDs before release.

A statement on Wednesday by Karan Johar claimed, "Our film Agneepath is releasing as scheduled on January 26, 2012, without any additions or deletions. The ex-parte injunction that had been granted by district court, Nagpur, has been vacated. We continue to maintain there is nothing in the film Agneepath which infringes copyright or any other right of any other person."

Denying this, Sharad Bhattad, lawyer for Salankar told TOI, "the court has ordered that only the last three lines of the song 'O Saiyan' can be retained and the rest will have to be deleted. The seven defendents in the case namely Dharma Productions, Karan Johar, Karan Malhotra, Amitabh Bhattacharya, Ajay, Atul and Sony Music will have to either separately or collectively deposit Rs 25 lakh in court on or before Monday. Sony Music will also have to submit accounts of the sales of the music CDs of Agneepath so far."

Expressing his satisfaction over the court order on Wednesday, Salankar said, "the representatives of the production company were in the court today. The order issued by the court was that the song cannot be screened as part of the film and only last three lines can be used or played in theatres. The court order has even marked the three lines that can be used. I am happy as I have been able to protect my interest. I am ready to see this legal battle to its logical end."

Salankar said that the last three lines of the song sung by Roop Kumar Rathod, which go as 'Gumshuda the chaand taarey, tune gardishon ki laye badaldi, laut aye aaj saare', are the only ones that would be heard in the film because they were not a part of the original number composed and sung by him.
