• A video comparing AR Rahman's 'Pudhu Vellai Mazhai' (Roja, 1992) to Yanni's 'Quiet Man' (1989) has sparked a plagiarism debate.
• Social media users are questioning Rahman's originality, despite the Tamil song's classic status.
• This isn't the first time Rahman has faced such accusations; filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma previously claimed Rahman didn't compose 'Jai Ho'.
• RGV recounted an incident where Rahman allegedly took credit for a song composed by Sukhwinder for Subhash Ghai's 'Yuvraaj'.
• Rahman reportedly left the 'Yuvraaj' project, later had Sukhwinder complete the song, and shared earnings when it became 'Jai Ho' for 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
