Pritam, that music director, is petrified of being called a chor.

Pritam, that music director, is petrified of being called a chor, says Munni as she sashays into my room. She’s telling me that the latest Salman Khan chart topper, Dhinka Chika… is a rehashed version of a South tune, Ringa Ringa… Before I can tell her not to give me baasi khabar, she says it was composed by Pritam. She swears it’s true. He created the song at Sallu’s request, but then was so afraid of being branded a thief that he begged the T-Series head honcho, Bhushan Kumar, to let another musician take credit for it!
