The globally popular song Oo Antava from the 2021 Telugu blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, featuring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, has unexpectedly landed at the centre of an international copyright controversy. Composer Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), who created the song, has accused Turkish pop star Atiye of copying his work in her newly released track titled Anlayana.
DSP recently addressed the issue at a public event, expressing concern over the striking similarities between Oo Antava and Anlayana. According to the composer, the Turkish version resembles the original so closely that it can be regarded as a direct copy. He admitted that although he was disheartened by the lack of credit, he also saw the incident as a sign of Telugu music’s growing global reach. DSP is currently contemplating legal action against the Turkish singer.
Who is Atiye, the Singer Accused of Copying ‘Oo Antava’?
Atiye is a well-known Turkish pop artist who began her career in the late 2000s. Born in Istanbul, she has built a reputation for her energetic performances and genre-blending style that often includes pop, electronic, and dance music. In 2011, she won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Turkish Act and has since worked on several international collaborations. She also attempted to break into global markets with English-language releases, including her 2015 single Come To Me.
Her latest release, Anlayana, has drawn unexpected attention for its alleged similarities to Oo Antava. With multiple Turkish and English hits to her name, Atiye had never previously been associated with any plagiarism controversies. As of now, neither she nor her team has responded publicly to the accusations.
Social Media Fuels the Plagiarism Claims
The controversy gained momentum online after music listeners pointed out the melodic similarities between the two songs. Comments on the Anlayana YouTube video flooded in, with many calling out the resemblance. Several users highlighted how the tune echoed Oo Antava, identifying it as the original and praising DSP’s composition. However, Atiye and her representatives have yet to issue any statement regarding the allegations or the public criticism.
Oo Antava's Enduring Popularity
Released as part of Sukumar’s film Pushpa: The Rise, Oo Antava became a cultural moment for its provocative visuals and catchy rhythm. Featuring Samantha Ruth Prabhu in a bold performance and sung by Indravathi Chauhan, the song quickly climbed charts and gained a cult following. Samantha herself later acknowledged that she had initial doubts about doing the number, especially so soon after her divorce, but eventually embraced the role that would become iconic in her career.
Even as new songs debuted in Pushpa 2: The Rule, Oo Antava remains unmatched in popularity, highlighting its lasting impact.
