Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer ‘Brahmastra’ seems to be in the midst of a controversy. Ever since the film’s much-awaited song ‘Kesariya’ was released recently, the song has served as fodder for memes and trolls for the words ‘love storyaan’ in its lyrics. While the internet is still having its laugh over the lyrics, the song’s facing accusations of plagiarism.

As per reports, there are allegations that the chorus of ‘Kesariya’ has allegedly been copied from the song ‘Laaree Chootee’, a composition by Pakistani band ‘Call The Band’. The song was also used for the Bollywood film ‘Ek Chalis Ki Last Local’ which was released in the year 2007 and was picturised on actors Abhay Deol and Neha Dhupia.

Amidst these allegations, Pakistani actor Feroze Khan has criticised the Hindi film industry. Taking to Instagram, the actor asked Bollywood to create something of their own. Sharing a post that alleged ‘Kesariya’ to be a copy of ‘Laaree Chootee’, Khan wrote: Cmon you people make something of your own FFS!?”
