The Vvaan is directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, according to the report detailing the controversy.
Vocalist Sargam Vaish has accused the makers of Bollywood Hungama Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia's upcoming film The Vvaan of using about 25 seconds of his song "Aigiri Nandini" in the official trailer without permission. Vaish claims he spent roughly three years producing the track and that its unauthorized use could breach an existing deal with a major music label.
The vocalist has demanded the filmmakers remove the song from both the trailer and final film, and has asked them to provide licensing details if they obtained permission. Times of India reports that Vaish warned he may pursue legal action, though the filmmakers have not publicly responded to the allegations.
A Three-Year Production Allegedly Stolen Without Consent
Sargam Vaish created "Aigiri Nandini" over three years, handling production and vocals himself. iDiva reports that when the The Vvaan trailer dropped, Vaish discovered his song playing in it — unchanged from his original work. He shared a file screenshot showing his music was last modified on March 9, 2024, proving the production existed well before the trailer's release.
The unauthorized use violates an existing agreement Vaish holds with a major music label, according to India TV News. This complicates the situation beyond simple copyright — the vocalist's deal may have exclusive terms that the filmmakers breached by using the track.
The Vvaan Draws Inspiration From Ancient Temple Lore
The Vvaan, directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, takes its story from the Van Devi Temple and unfolds in a dense, mythical forest. Daily Hunt notes the film pairs Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in this mythology-inspired project. The movie has been marketed as "Force of the Forest," emphasizing its connection to ancient spiritual themes.
Vaish Demands Immediate Removal and Legal Answers
Vaish's demands are clear: remove the song from both the trailer and the film entirely. He also wants the filmmakers to reveal whether they obtained proper licensing. If they did, he wants proof. If they didn't, he expects immediate action to fix the breach.
The vocalist has signaled that legal action is on the table if the producers don't comply. So far, the The Vvaan team has remained silent on the accusations, offering no explanation or public statement about how the song ended up in their trailer.
