Nirmala Maghani’s legal team on Monday served Coke Studio producer Zulfikar Khan, popularly known as Xulfi, with a legal notice worth Rs. 100 million for a copyright violation of her song Tu Jhoom.

The notice states that Nirmala had submitted ‘Tu Mera Ranjha’ compositions in June 2021 hoping to get the big break from her, but Xulfi did not respond to her.

The notice claimed that Maghani sent her compositions including ‘Tu Mera Ranjha’ compositions on June 14, 2021 through WhatsApp Messenger on Xulfi’s mobile, all in the form of voice notes.

Coke Studio’s season 14 song ‘Tu Jhoom’ was affected by a controversy over plagiarism allegations that were attributed to Adnan Dhool (writer), Xulfi (narrative, composer, arranger and producer) and Abdullah Siddiqui (co-producer).

On January 14, 2022, when Coke Studio’s song “Jhoom” was released, Maghani was shocked to hear that the song was the note of “Tu Mera Ranjha”.

“y client on 14 June 2021 sent her compositions including the composition of the song ‘Tu Mera Ranjha’ to you on your mobile number through WhatsApp Messenger which all were in the form of a voice note. Thereafter no further communication was made by you, however on 14 January 2022 when Coke Studio song ‘Tu Jhoom’ was released, my client was surprised to learn that ‘Tu Jhoom’ is made by copying notes and music composition of my client’s song ‘Tu Mera Ranjha’ which was sent to you as voice note on WhatsApp for review,” read the notice

“Your act of copying the notes and composition of my client’s song ‘Tu Mera Ranjha’ for the Coke Studio 14 performed by singer named Naseebo Lal and Abida Parveen without any legal right and permission from my client is a wilful and intentional infringement of right of my client and is a blatant violation of the copyright laws of Pakistan.”
