Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya is no stranger to rows. He recently filed a plagiarism case against the makers of Housefull 2. The bone of contention is a tune used in the film that the singer claims has been lifted from one of his music albums. The composer duo Sajid-Wajid went on record to deny any wrongdoing on their part. They even called Abhijeet an imposter who earns a living by imitating Kishore Kumar. On Sajid-Wajid Abhijeet feels that he bears no vendetta against anyone and his fight is against the large music production companies, who are &lsquo;pirates&rsquo; and have been unabashedly ripping songs. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/Abhijeet-Bhattacharya.jpg" /> According to him, it&rsquo;s nothing personal and he&rsquo;s just highlighting the grave issue of plagiarism that is so rampant in Bollywood. He also blames our weak judiciary that bows to &lsquo;bigshot lawyers and judges&rsquo; thanks to whom his case is still pending in the court. He affirmed, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t entirely blame Sajid-Wajid. They might be innocent. My grudge is against the music production house that directs musicians to lift punch music lines from other&rsquo;s work.&rdquo; He also laughs off the imposter tag by remarking, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s a huge compliment! If someone thinks I&rsquo;m making a living on Kishoreda, I&rsquo;d rather feel proud about myself.&rdquo; On SRK Lately, there were reports suggesting Abhijeet won&rsquo;t work with Shah Rukh Khan again as the former is of the opinion that singers aren&rsquo;t given their due credit. With regards to this peculiar topic, Abhijeet sounded diplomatic, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve said the same thing two years ago after Billu (Barber). It&rsquo;s nothing new and my concern resonates with fellow singers who aren&rsquo;t given recognition despite the success of their songs. If he can make peace with Farah (Khan) and Shirish (Kunder) after an ugly spat, then he can surely embrace me too.&rdquo; On Pakistani musicians Abhijeet is one of the very few in the industry who is vocal against the import of cross-border musical talent. Addressing this exchange as totally one-sided that leaves Indian artists jobless, he calls those in favour of Pakistani musicians hypocrites. His sarcasm was evident when he quipped, &ldquo;I recently joined Twitter and I&rsquo;m making it a point to interact more with Pakistanis. Why should I be made a villain and a scapegoat for just telling an uncomfortable truth in public?&rdquo;u00a0
