Noted pop singer Daler Mehendi sent a legal notice to producer Yash Chopra seeking damages of Rs 1 crore for criminal breach of trust, alleging his voice was replaced by that of another singer in the title song of the upcoming film, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.

Mehendi, through his counsel Nawal Kishore Jha, also sent notices to director Shaad Ali, lyricist Gulzar and singer Shanker Mahadevan and sought unconditional apology within 15 days.

If the parties do not reply within the stipulated time frame, his client (Daler Mehendi) shall be constrained to proceed for prosecution against all these persons for 'criminal acts of cheating, fraud and deceitful manoeuvring,' Jha said.

Daler Mehendi claimed after singing and dubbing the title song Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, the producer removed his voice and replaced it with that of Shanker Mahadevan to deprive him from getting remuneration for belting out the number.

This fact came to light only on May 15 when the album was released, the counsel said.
