Veteran music director Ilayaraja has issued a legal notice
to the producers of the Malayalam movie "Manjummel Boys"
for using a song he composed for the Kamal Haasan-starrer "Guna" (1991) without authorization.
The notice is directed at Soubin Shahir, who also played a significant role in the film
as well as Babu Shahir and Shawn Antony of Parava Films.
Ilayaraja asserts his legal, moral, and special rights over the song "Kanmani Anbodu Kaadhalan,"
stating that he retains the right to pursue legal action for the improper
unauthorized use of his original musical work in the movie.
