Apple iPhone X’s new advertisement, which has gone viral over the internet, features tune from a song from the musical legend RD Burman as its background score.

The new ad, which is a sample of the final advertisement, features the opening tune from a popular song from Hindi film The Burning Train (1980). The song, Meri Nazar Hai Tuje Pe…, was composed by R D Burman. But Pete Cannon, a musician from the west, claimed in his Tweet that the background theme music for the ad was his own creation.

Much to Cannon’s surprise, it didn’t take long for the Twitterati to teach some history to the musician as they trolled him for making bogus claims on Burman’s hit song from the golden years of Bollywood.

Read what the Twitterati has to say about Cannon’s claim on the song.

Checkout the original music by Indian composer #RDBurman done in 1980 (Oh! you must be knowing anyway) – There is NO Innovation in your re-sampling, just a ReUse without credits:)

This is NOT your Music. This is NOT your Composition. You did not do anything TO DESERVE it. Respect the original creator #RDBurman. Music from 80’s movie – The Burning Train. #Disgraceful #Plaigarismhttps://t.co/QI59J85tDj

After the ad went viral all over and pointed out by many fans that the tune is Burman’s creation and Cannon has just remixed the song a little and should credit the late music composer, he wrote: “Hi Guys, I just want to address the sample used in the new Apple iPhoneX advert. It samples a track from the great R D Burman’s ‘Burning Train’ and it’s a MAGICAL piece of music! It was cleared/licensed via Blurred Recs courtesy of Saregama. Everyone is on board and loves it,”

Cannon’s message does not juts clarify about the origin of the song but also tells that the hit song of Burman has been finalised as the background song for the ad.

That’s indeed a proud moment as the west continues to get inspire from India.

Last year, Indian fans were amused to listen Jhoom Jhoom Jhoom Baba in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.
