The recreation of this song for the film "Housefull" (2010) resulted in multiple lawsuits. Punit and Amit, the sons of Prakash Mehra, and music directed Anandji filed a lawsuit against Saregama, T-Series and Nadiadwala Grandsons Entertainment alleging copyright infringement. The Calcutta High court ruled in their favour and asked for the song to be removed from "Housefull" (2010).[1][2][3]
The percussions and the horn section in this song appear to have been inspired by the Boney M song "No More Chain Gang" (1979).[4]
