Composer Pritam has found himself at the center of plagiarism allegations concerning the song 'Mashooqa' from the upcoming film Cocktail 2. Following claims that the song resembles the 1993 Italian track 'Se So Arrubate A Nonna', Pritam took to Instagram to express his frustration. He criticized what he termed an 'unpaid PR team' for scrutinizing his work, stating, 'Every single one of my song releases comes with a set of self-appointed music detectives.' The original Italian song, performed by the duo Bibi and Coco, translates to 'The Kidnapped Grandma' in English and was part of their album Le Origini Vol. 2. The controversy gained traction on social media, with mixed reactions from fans. Some users defended Pritam, suggesting that the similarities drawn were exaggerated, while others reiterated that he has a history of reusing melodies. The song 'Mashooqa' features actors Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon and is set to release in theaters on June 19.
