Anirudh Ravichander accused of copying Otnicka's song in 'Leo', Belarusian composer reacts

Anirudh Ravichander is one of the most popular music composers in the Tamil film industry at present. 

After delivering a series of foot-tapping numbers in Tamil films, he also ventured into Bollywood with Atlee's Jawan. 

However, the young music director is facing allegations of plagiarism after he shared a song from Vijay's Leo. 

The Lokesh Kanagaraj-directorial, currently running in theatres, also featured songs and background score by Anirudh.

On Monday, Anirudh took to social media to share a song titled 'Ordinary Person' from the film. Soon after the song was released, several netizens claimed the song was a copy of Peaky Blinders track 'Where Are You', composed by Belarusian musician Otnicka.

With messages flooding his inbox, Otnicka took to Instagram to clarify that he was monitoring the developments, and that the situation is “very unclear”.
