Lyricist-screenwriter Manoj Muntashir expressed anger at X as the Sky Force team failed to give him credit for writing the upcoming song Maye. On January 7, Manoj warned the producers – Jio Studios, Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and Saregama Global – of legal action.

This happened after Jio Studios shared the teaser of the upcoming song X, featuring singer B Praak and composer Tanishk Bagchi. There was no mention of Manoj in the brief clip. However, the team tagged him in the caption.

Take a look at the post here:

Expressing his anger, Manoj wrote, “Please pay attention to @jiostudios, @MaddockFilms @saregamaglobal. This song is not only sung and composed, but it is also written by someone who has given all his blood and sweat for it. Removing the writer’s name from the opening credits shows gross disrespect for the craft and the community by the makers. If this is not rectified immediately, including the main song being released tomorrow, I will reject the song and ensure that my voice is heard by the law of the country. Have some Shame. @IPRSmusic (sic),” he wrote.
