Ace singer Sonu Nigam has been replaced in a song, Ishq Ki Barish, which went viral last week.
A video of the song from an upcoming film, Ishq Forever, was leaked on social media.
It showed Sonu Nigam in a studio, giving his voice to the melody, which has also been sung by Shreya Ghoshal.
Mumbai Mirror reports that Zee Music has replaced Sonu's voice with Javed Ali in Ishq Ki Barish. The filmmakers were reportedly keen on Sonu Nigam, but were helpless as Zee Music had acquired the rights for the songs.
It is rumoured that someone not happy with Zee’s decision leaked the Sonu Nigam version of Ishq Ki Barish.
Zee Music allegedly decided to ban Sonu Nigam last year after he criticised its coverage of the suicide of Rajasthan farmer Gajendra Singh.
Sonu Nigam told Mirror that he had been earlier dropped from the chart-topping "Gulabo" as well.
“Zee has a problem with me and last April had announced that they will never work with me again," he said.
Ishq Forever, a romantic drama musical directed by Sameer sippy, is due for released on 19 February. It features newcomer Krishna Chaturvedi with Ruhi Singh. It is also a comeback film for Nadeem Saifi, who has composed after almost a decade.
