K-pop sensation Jennie is making headlines. But this time, for all the wrong reasons. The BLACKPINK sensation has released a teaser of her song — Like Jennie — on Instagram.
Fans were quick to notice that the track was similar to Alia Bhatt's introduction track, Rani, in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
A user said that she can't believe that “Jennie is plagiarising Pritam, out of all. Bollywood out of all.”

A K-pop fan page said, “BLACKPINK's Jennie copied the song 'Rani Anthem' from the movie 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani', which has Indian artist Pritam's credits, in a way that sounds no different.”

In the middle of this, a person pointed out, “Pritam literally copied Pehli Nazar me note for note without any credits from a Korean song, probably did the same for this intro, sampled it from another international song but didn't legally give credits whereas Jennie will give sampling credits."
