KARACHI: Apropos a news item headlined `Singer sends legal notice to beverage company` appearing in Dawn on May 20, advertisement agency Soho Square said on Saturday that all contractual and monetary negotiations about rights` acquisition for the song were amicably agreed upon, against a handsome amount that was also mutually agreed. The final copy of the advertisement was sent to Shehzad Roy for review before airing.

`We were later informed by Shehzad Roy`s team that the agreement has been signed and ready to be collected from his office. However, after airing of the advertisement, Shehzad Roy complained to our client that his song has been used without completing legal formalities. Upon receiving this complaint, we replaced the song with our own jingle and Shehzad Roy`s team was informed of this move,` it said.-Staff Reporter
