Sanjay Leela Bhansali is said to be unhappy with the way the makers of Ek Paheli Leela have rehashed his popular Dholi Taro track.
A look at
other filmmakers who struck a discordant note for using references from past projects... Several filmmakers reprise yesteryear tracks in their projects,
the latest being the 'Dholi taro, dhol baaje' track from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' (1999). Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan in a still from the 'Dholi Taro' track in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'
The chartbuster has been recreated in Bobby Khan's 'Ek Paheli Leela' and has Sunny Loene gyrating to the tunes along with co-star Rajneesh Duggal. As producers of the upcoming film (T-Series) own the rights to the song, they have re-used it.

not too happy with the recreated version. Reason?
The filmmaker apparently feels it is an iconic song and shouldn't have been touched. The original was rendered by Kavita Krishnamurthy, Vinod Rathod, Karsan Sargathiya and Ismail Darbar (who also composed the music
for 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam')
The new version has been sung by Meet Bros-Anjann and Monali Thakur.

In 2012, Ekta Kapoor's adult comedy 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' directed by Sachin Yardi made references to Bhansali's 'Devdas' (2002) and
the latter was not amused.
Actresses Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane Dias danced to the 'Dola re dola'
track, which was also used in the film's promos.

Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit-
starrer 'Dayavan' (1998) was used in 'Hate Story 2'
last year and picturised on lead pair Jay Bhanushali and Surveen Chawla.
That didn't go down well with the song's original composer, Pyarelal (of the famous Laxmikant-Pyarelal duo).
Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane Dias did a spoof of the song in (below) Ekta Kapoor's adulty comedy 'Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum' (2012) In an earlier interview with hitlist, he had said:
"All these young composers tell us that they respect and love our work, but they end up ruining the song.
Some of the singers these days can't even sing properly. Then again, saying this is like banging your head against the wall - it's pointless."
The original melody was sung by Pankaj Udhas and Anuradha Paudwal, while Arijit Singh and Samira Koppikar lent their voice to the new version. Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit in 'Dayavan'
