'Beyonce Sharma Jaayegi' song: Makers to rewrite lyrics to avoid legal repercussions?

Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter's Beyonce Sharma Jaayegi song from Khaali Peeli received mixed reviews from the audience. Netizens slammed the song for its controversial lyrics. Reportedly, the makers of the song are planning to re-write the lyrics of Beyonce Sharma Jaayegi, as Beyonce trademarked her name ten years ago, barring it from using her name commercially.

A report published by Mid-day stated that the team of Khaali Peeli did not get legal permission from Beyonce to use her name in the song. The team may likely re-write the lyrics of the song to avoid legal repercussions. A source from the production house revealed to the site that in a pre-emptive move, the makers of Khaali Peeli are now planning to rewrite the song to avoid legal repercussions. The source further stated that a final call will be taken this week and added that with the dance number being called out for racism, it will be an unwise move to take on an international star like Beyonce, especially at a time when the Black Lives Matter movement has set the stage for equality.
