India’s famous lyricist Javed Akhtar appears to be a little baffled and confused after seeing the trailer of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s biopic with his name listed in the credits.

As per a report, Akhtar was shocked and confused seeing his name as a lyricist in the Vivek Oberoi starrer as he reveals that he doesn’t have any memory of contributing any songs for the film in the first place.

Turning to Twitter with a screenshot of the credits showing his name, Akhtar wrote: “Am shocked to find my name on the poster of this film. Have not written any songs for it!”

However, the confusion was soon sorted as prouder Sandip Singh cleared the air saying on Twitter: “We have taken the songs Ishwar Allah from the film 1947:Earth and the song Suno Gaur Se Duniya Walon from the film Dus in our film, thus we have given the due credits to respective lyricists Javed sahab and Sameer ji.”
