Renowned Bollywood composer Pritam has addressed the recent plagiarism allegations directed at BLACKPINK’s Jennie concerning her latest track, “Like Jennie.” Fans and netizens have drawn parallels between Jennie’s song and the “Rani Theme” from the 2023 Bollywood film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, composed by Pritam. The controversy arose after Jennie released a teaser of her song, which some listeners felt bore a striking resemblance to Alia Bhatt’s character introduction theme in the film.

In response to these allegations, Pritam commented on the situation, emphasizing that minor similarities in music are not uncommon. He stated, “Rani and Jennie are names that rhyme, so a similar flow in one phrase doesn’t make it a copy. Similarities are bound to happen—whether through rhymes, phrasing, or even within the same genre.” Pritam further wished Jennie success with her new release and urged listeners to focus on the broader context rather than specific details.

The debate has also highlighted Pritam’s own history with plagiarism accusations. Some fans pointed out the irony of the situation, noting that Pritam has previously faced allegations of copying music. One user remarked, “I cannot believe Jennie is plagiarising Pritam, out of all. Bollywood out of all.”

As of now, Jennie and her management have not issued an official statement regarding the allegations. The song “Like Jennie” is scheduled for release this Friday, and fans worldwide are keen to hear the full track to form their own opinions on the matter.

The incident has sparked discussions on the nuances of musical inspiration versus plagiarism, with listeners and industry professionals weighing in on where the line should be drawn. As the story develops, fans await further comments from both parties involved.
