Ilayaraja’s Copyright Dispute Rocks Lokesh Kanagaraj’s ‘Coolie’ ( Photo Credit – Facebook )
Ilayaraja has taken swift legal action against the producers of ‘Coolie’ for the unauthorized use of his music in the teaser. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and featuring Rajinikanth, ‘Coolie’ showcased a recreation of Ilayaraja’s song ‘Va va pakkam va’ from ‘Thanga Magan’ from 1983, not the 2015 ‘Thanga Magan,’ which has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. This move has stirred controversy, with Ilayaraja determined to protect his copyrights.
According to reports, the notice highlighted the absence of formal permission from Ilaiyaraaja, the original owner of the song ‘Va Va Pakkam Va,’ and its music used in the teaser. This act is deemed a violation under the Copyright Act of 1957. The complaint explicitly targets director Lokesh Kanagaraj, alleging habitual involvement in such infringements. Previously, Kanagaraj should have sought permission for the song ‘Vikram Vikram’ in Vikram. Similarly, the music of...

Music maestro Ilaiyaraaja has issued a legal copyright notice to Sun Pictures for unauthorised usage of his music in their latest film ‘Coolie’, starring Tamil megastar Rajnikanth.
Ilaiyaraaja, in the notice, said that the makers of the film had used his musical work in the teaser without authorisation.
Asserting that he is the rightful owner of the music, Ilaiyaraaja said that the makers of the movie did not seek any formal permission from him.
In the notice, Ilaiyaraaja claimed that the teaser of Coolie had a rendition of his song ‘Vaa Vaa Pakkam Vaa’ from the film ‘Thanga Magan’, also starring Rajinikanth.
This music, according to the petitioner, is remixed in the song ‘Disco’ for Coolie.
The music maestro emphasised that such usage constitutes a clear violation of the Copyright Act (1957).
Furthermore, Ilaiyaraaja pointed out that the director of Coolie, Lokesh Kanagaraj, had previously utilised his compositions in the movie ‘Vikram’ without obtaining consent.

Comparing Amitabh Bachchan & Rajinikanth’s Coolie At The Box Office (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Coolie is back after 41 years. That’s it, that should be the news. Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic classic, which was released in 1983, has given its title to another superstar, Rajinikanth, who is headlining a film by the same name that will be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie Paycheck!
Reports suggest that Rajinikanth‘s paycheck for Loki’s film amounts to a whopping 280 crore! This is massive and probably one of the highest paid in the country. However, none has confirmed or denied the staggering amount being speculated as the superstar’s payment.
The film will be released in 2025, and only the announcement of the film has garnered so much love and hysteria. In a long teaser, Rajinikanth is introduced as Coolie . This is the same film that has a rumored appearance by Shah Rukh Khan as well.

Rajinikanth Is Literally Raining Gold In Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie Teaser (Photo Credit – Youtube)
After a lot of speculations around Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj‘s next hat being untitled, Thalaivar 171 was revealed with a title and a fully commercial teaser. The film has been titled Coolie, and a 3-minute 16 seconds teaser was dropped to welcome Anna to Lokesh’s Universe.
The teaser is equally entertaining in Hindi as in Tamil, with Anna entering a dockyard stuffed with Gold. But guess who glitters more than Gold? None other than Anna. As he carelessly keeps attacking goons at illegal sites, his charm and suaveness are unparalleled.
In Tamil, the actor re-iterates his Ranga dialogue offering a brilliant recall to his fans. Anirudh’s background music also promises to push this commercial entertainer to its peak. Coolie teaser, however, is too soon to judge the film that will commence the shoot now.

It’s always good to bow out leaving people wanting more. Yet if you were to tell us back in 2004 that “Kung Fu Hustle” would be the penultimate time we would see Stephen Chow in front of the camera then very few would believe you. His cinematic popularity was at its apex with international recognition coming through the release of “Shaolin Soccer” and this subsequent follow up. With only “CJ7” to come a few years later. Alongside “Shaolin Soccer” this madcap action-comedy both sends up and homages the martial arts cinema that Stephen Chow loves so much and serves as an ideal entry point to his world of Mo Lei Tau comedy.
