The Vvaan Trailer Plunges Into Controversy: Singer Alleges Music Theft, Threatens Legal Notice

Just days ahead of its nationwide theatrical premiere on September 25, 2026, Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s mythological thriller The Vvaan: Force of the Forest has been hit by a major copyright controversy over its official trailer. Emerging musical artist Sargam Vaish has publicly accused the film's production team of blatant intellectual property theft, alleging that an essential section of her rendition of the sacred chant Aigiri Nandini was integrated into the promotional footage without authorization, credit, or clearance.The dispute has escalated rapidly across social media platforms, with the singer demanding immediate removal of the audio and warning the producers of imminent formal legal action if the copyright violation is not swiftly remedied.25 Seconds of Master Vocals: Singer Sargam Vaish Details Allegations on InstagramTaking to Instagram with side-by-side audio evidence, Sargam Vaish demonstrated that roughly 25 seconds of her original production—audible between the 1:08 and 1:33 timestamps of the 2-minute-44-second trailer—uses her proprietary stems and vocal arrangements.Vaish stated that she had poured over three years of intensive creative labor into finalizing this specific composition and had already entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with an established commercial record label. She asserted that the film's creative unit lifted her master files, sound engineering, and vocal production without prior consent, warning that any commercial conflict with her existing label agreements would rest squarely on the filmmakers while demanding that the production team pull the track from both the trailer and the final feature cut immediately.Approaching Release Day: Directors and Production House Face Legal ScrutinyHelmed by directors Deepak Kumar Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, The Vvaan: Force of the Forest has built strong pre-release buzz for its atmospheric fusion of local folklore, supernatural mysticism, and festive fervor.However, this sudden copyright row threatens to complicate the film's final promotional sprint as it heads into cinema halls on September 25. With the singer’s legal representatives preparing formal legal notices regarding unauthorized commercial synchronization, cinephiles and industry insiders are watching closely to see whether the production team will settle the licensing claim amicably, replace the contested audio segment, or face an injunction battle in court.
