The Delhi High Court on Wednesday stayed the release of the film Sorry Bhai! till December 8 after singer Rabbi Shergill filed a petition alleging that one of the songs in the film was quite similar to a song in his album released in July this year.

High Court Justice Rajeev Sahay Eudlan has asked the producers of the film to either remove the song or go for a stay.

The film, starring Sanjay Suri, Sharman Joshi and Chitrangada Singh was scheduled to be released on November 28.

The music of the film was released last month.

Rabbi Shergill alleged the music director of ‘Sorry Bhai’, Gaurav Dayal has copied a composition from his album ‘Avengi Ja Nahi’. He said the incident had caused "irreparable damage to his reputation". Speaking with the media persons Rabbi said, “I only got to hear the song two days ago.

The song in the movie is very close to one of my original compositions,”

On the other hand, Vashu Bhagnani, the producer of Sorry Bhai! said, “I have no clue about Mr Shergill and his music. My people are in Delhi to talk to his lawyers and settle things. I know only Gaurav Dayal, who has composed the music for our film, and he has told us that it is his music, so it is between him and Rabbi to decide whose it is.”
