Gopi Sunder trolled again: 'Is Roma's Chilankakal Tholkunna song devotional or an item number?' ask confused netizens

Malayalam movie Sathya, the last directorial venture of late Diphan, made headlines even before its release, thanks to music composer Gopi Sunder, who is said to have lifted the tune of one of its songs, featuring Jayaram and Parvathy Nambiar. After the release of the action thriller on April 20, the film also garnered a negative response from the audience for the use of outdated formula, amateurish direction as well as poor script.

"Item dance with devotional song✌ wow!! psychological move!," commented another. "First time in the history of world cinema, I have seen an item dance with classical dance steps. This is the reason why Jayaram's Sathya is different from all other movies," reads a comment.

Meanwhile, Gopi has shared a troll video on the same and posted on his Facebook page. "I loved it , sithara and my self couldn't stop laughing... amazing creativity.. trollers ne namichu . [sic]." Sithara has also reacted to the trolls saying she was not even aware that it would be an item song.

Recently, music lovers had found a similarity between the Njan Ninne Thedi Varum song from Sathya and the hit Tamil song Halena Halena from Vikram and Nayantara's Iru Mugan. Gopi, who is often called "copy sunder" for copying tunes for the songs, was then criticised for the same. However, even music composer Harris Jayaraj has copied the music of the popular Tamil track from Tony Fadd's Fetty Wap - Trap Queen music video.

Meanwhile, the audience have found that the tune of his composition, used as the title song of Dileep's Two Countries, and the tune of Dulquer Salmaan's upcoming movie Comrade in America (CIA) are also similar. Both the compositions are by Gopi. The similarities between the songs were noticed after the audio track of the fast number, sung by Dulquer, was recently released online.
