This controversy sparked heated discussions within the industry. During a recent music release event, veteran composer Gangai Amaran openly criticized music director G.V. Prakash, accusing him of using their songs instead of creating original compositions. Gangai Amaran also remarked that G.V. Prakash does not understand his work properly, intensifying the debate around the song usage issue. Thenappan defends GV Prakash , Attributes song choice to director In response to this, producer Thenappan, speaking at the '13/13 Lucky Naan' music release event, addressed the controversy with a calmer perspective.
