The accusation came for recreating Dr Zeus' song Don’t Be Shy without due credits
Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Bala can’t seem to get rid of the controversies. After facing plagiarism allegations over the story, the makers, Maddock Films, have now been accused by singer-composer Dr Zeus of plagiarism for recreating his song Don’t Be Shy without due credit. He also accused the music label, Sony Music, and composers Sachin-Jigar of "riding off [his] old hits."
