Zoheb Hassan says ‘taking legal stand against PSL’ for using Disco Deewane without permission

LONDON: Pakistani pop icon and music composer Zoheb Hassan has lashed out at Pakistan Super League over using Nazia Hassan’s Disco Deewane at opening ceremony in Dubai without prior permission.

Hassan, who composed the original performed by his late sister, said neither the PSL management nor the singer sought any kind of permission before using the track.

“I was shocked to see that a reputable platform like PSL used our track Disco Deewane without our prior permission. Outright infringement of intellectual property should be condemned and I am going to take a legal stand on this one,” he wrote.

Disco Deewane was performed by Shuja Haider and Aima Baig during the opening ceremony of PSL 4.
