The family took legal action once morest the use of MS Baburaj’s songs without permission in Blue Light, a remake of Vaikum Muhammad Basheer’s film Bhargaveenilayam. In 1964, Bhargaveenilam, directed by A Vincent and written by Vaikum Muhammad Basheer, was composed by MS Baburaj.
The family’s complaint is that the songs have been remixed in blue light in such a way as to destroy the uniqueness and magic of Baburaj’s music. Baburaj’s Makkal Vakil has given notice to the director Ashiq Abu and the music director Bijibal. The notice demanded the removal of the remixed songs from social media and television channels. The family has also filed a complaint with Culture Minister Saji Cherian asking him to intervene in this matter.
The songs from Neelavelichtam have been recreated by Bijibal and Rex Vijayan. Madhu Paul also handled the keyboard. Neela Velicham is produced by Ashiq Abu and Rima Kallingal under the banner of OPM Cinemas. Co-produced by Saji Ali Pulakal and Abbas Puthuparampil. Tovino Thomas, Rima Kallingal, Roshan Mathew and Shine Tom Chacko are playing the lead roles in Blue Light.
