Filmmaker Priyadarshan has addressed recent plagiarism allegations concerning a song from his upcoming film Bhooth Bangla, which some claimed resembled a track from Satyajit Ray's 1969 classic Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne. During an event, Priyadarshan stated that such similarities are not uncommon in the music industry, asserting that the hook line of his song, Ram Ji Bhala Karenge, is merely a repetition of common phrases. He emphasized his admiration for Satyajit Ray, stating, 'I respect Satyajit Ray like a god of Indian cinema.' Priyadarshan noted that the term 'bhoot' is widely used in Indian films, and the film's title itself has historical precedents. Bhooth Bangla is scheduled for release on April 16, and features a notable cast including Tabu, Paresh Rawal, and the late Asrani. The film is produced by Akshay Kumar and presented by Balaji Motion Pictures.
