The scars of Sun Music suing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for using music from Rajinikanth movies Coolie and Jailer 2 are still fresh in the minds of the Yellow Army’s marketing team. Now, they face the humiliation of hearing ‘Aaya Sher’ being played against them by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 17. SRH has licensed the hit song “Aaya Sher” from Nani’s The Paradise to create a hostile home advantage following a lawsuit where SRH’s parent company, Sun TV, sued CSK for using music without permission. The Orange Army’s DJ tweeted about securing the rights to play “Aaya Sher” during matches. Music is crucial in the IPL stadium experience, but IPL DJs need music rights under the Indian Copyright Act of 1957 to avoid copyright infringement. The legal battle between Sun TV and CSK in March 2026 serves as a cautionary tale for SRH as they take extra precautions with “Aaya Sher” to avoid legal issues.
