| Farah Khan's funny brother, Sajid Khan has been crying hoarse that his directorial debut 'Heyy Babyy' is not inspired by the Tom Selleck - Ted Danson starrer 'Three men and a baby'. Well, the teaser that was released in IndiaFM recently seems to scream otherwise...looks exactly like the 1987 Hollywood film! Sajid could however seek refuge by saying that he got inspired by the 1985 French comedy, '3 hommes et un couffin' ('Three men and a cradle', the source of the English film!), since Sagar Ballary has made uncredited lifting of French farces fashionable and lucrative, depending on whether you talk about the connection or not! But, while I was watching the fairly enjoyable teaser of Heyy Babyy, the one thing that struck me was the music in the background! Sajid was quoted by DNA, on January 16, 2007 as saying, "Do you know why I chose Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy to do the music for Hey Baby? That’s because their name doesn’t figure in the list of copycats on a website devoted to exposing plagiarism in Hindi film music". Thanks Sajid bhai, but I sincerely hope that background music is only a piece in the trailer and not an actual song. Because it sounds exactly like pop/soul-rock band Maroon 5's track, 'This love' from their 2002 debut album, 'Songs about Jane'. The audio clip for the teaser is ripped from the video clip in IndiaFM - try paying closer attention to the music in the background over the funny lines of Akshay Kumar and the multiple slap sounds! |

| Ehsaan says in a mail that the trio have nothing to do with either the background music or teaser pieces for the film. Thought as much. Relieved! |
