Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia’s Vvaan Trailer in Controversy as Composer Alleges His Song Was Used without Permission

Vaish said the trailer used Aigiri Nandini without permission and warned the alleged misuse could affect his agreement with a major music label.

  • On Sunday, artist Sargam Vaish accused the makers of The Vvaan of using his song 'Aigiri Nandini' in the trailer without permission, ahead of the film's September 25, 2026 release.
  • Vaish claimed he spent three years developing the track, alleging the trailer features his 'original master file, production and vocals' for 25 seconds without authorization.
  • The composer warned that unauthorized use could jeopardize his existing contract with a major music label, requesting the team remove the track and provide proof of valid licensing.
  • Makers of the film, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, have not yet responded to the allegations, though Vaish indicated his legal team may take action if the song is not removed.
  • While the film is slated for a September 25 release, this marks the second recent copyright dispute involving Indian filmmakers, following a similar accusation against Mirzapur makers earlier this month.
