But not many people are really convinced about the 'copy' allegation, though the first line of Ottagathai does have some similarity to Kuyiline.

But, here goes! Malgadi Shuba's 1991 Telugu pop song, 'Eddem Ante Teddam Antav', from the album 'Chik pak chik bam', with music by Raj Koti, seems to be the source of inspiration for Rahman's superhit Gentleman song, 'Ottakatha Kattikko'. The first 2 lines' flow, that is, nothing more. And, considerably spruced up in Rahman style, of course! I recall reading Rahman's apprenticeship as an arranger for other composers like Ilayaraja, Ousepachan and Raj Koti, so a connection cannot be ruled out as a coincidence. Plus, I'm not getting into a guessing game which points to Rahman composing this tune originally for Raj Koti since that's merely a conjecture! Thanks to Amith Chandran and Bhagavathi Mohan for the info! The full Telugu song is available in CoolToad, here. > Listen to Ottagatha Kattikko | Eddem ante > http://www.itwofs.com > --------------------------------- Be a better Heartthrob.
