Thaikkudam Bridge was alleged in October that Varaha Roopam was a copy of their song Navarasam. They released their statement on Instagram and wrote in that statement, “From our and our partners’ standpoint. we would like our listeners to know that Thaikkudam Bridge is in no way or form affiliated with “Kantara”. The unavoidable similarities between our IP “Navarasam” and “Varaha Roopam” in terms of audio is therefore a blatant infringement of copyright laws. From our standpoint the line between “Inspired” and “Plagiarized” is distinct and indisputable. Therefore, we will be seeking legal action against the creative team responsible for this.”

“There has been no acknowledgement of our rights over the content. The song is propagated as an Original piece of work by the movie’s creative team.”
