Sky Force movie song controversy
The Bollywood song became controversial after JioCinema shared a short clip of the music video on January 7. Lyricist and poet Manoj Muntashir, who had written the Maaye song, expressed his displeasure as his name was not mentioned in the clip even though Bagchi and singer B Praak's names were there.

“This song is not just sung and composed but also written by someone who has given all his blood and sweat to it. Removing writers name from the opening credits shows utter disrespect for the craft and fraternity by the makers,” Manoj Muntashir wrote while tagging the makers of the Akshay Kumar movie.
“If it's not corrected immediately, including the main song releasing tomorrow, I am going to disown the song and make sure my voice is heard by the law of the land. Shame,” he added while threatening legal action.
