Hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss 19 has landed into trouble after Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL), India's oldest copyright licensing body, has served a legal notice to the producers of the reality show. The notice has accused the makers of using copyrighted music without proper authorisation. PPL is seeking Rs 2 crore in damages and unpaid license fees for the alleged violation.

As per the notice, Bigg Boss 19 episode 11, which aired on September 3, featured the songs Chikni Chameli from the 2012 action drama Agneepath and Dhat Teri Ki from the 2013 romantic comedy Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. PPL India has accused the show's production company Endemol Shine India of using these tracks without obtaining the required public performance licence.
