The duo Sajid-Wajid composer, Wajid explain about the music of upcoming Bollywood Film 'Rowdy Rathore. He confesses that a part of the music in RR score is barrowed from the original Telgu film Vikramarkudu. Rawdy Rathore directed by Prabhu Deva and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ronnie Screwvala, has Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Senha in Lead role, and is set to release one day before Sonakhi Senha's Birth Day, June 1.
"There is a signature tune in Vikramarkudu, which we couldn't avoid. It was an integral part of the theme in the Telugu film. Our producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is very music-minded, our director Prabhu Deva and my brother Sajid decided that we needed to incorporate that refrain in the Hindi remake, so we did," said Wajid

"We've taken the rights of the original music and then we've used it. We've also changed the original tune completely. But we still want to draw attention to the borrowed bits before others jump in gleefully and accuse us of plagiarism," he added.
Wajid says that the right to use the original music has been officially bought.
"We didn't have to do that because we changed the original tune completely. But we didn't want to rob anyone of their rightful dues," he said.
