After the furore on social media led by actor Abhay Deol against T-series, Viacom18 Motion pictures, co-producer of his film 'One by Two', said the conflicting issue between the music label and the producers of the film has been resolved.
"There was some misunderstanding regarding the factual positions and we are happy the same stands clarified and resolved between all parties.
"Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Abhay Deol being the producers now look forward to the release of music on all platforms and T-series is happy to provide their support to ensure 'One by Two' gets the best release," VMP's spokesperson said.
Deol, who is making his debut as a producer with 'One By Two' co-produced by Viacom, had earlier said he was not happy with the way T-series was marketing the film.
The 37-year-old actor said the label was not releasing the music of his new film because composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy didn't sign an "illegal" clause concerned with the copyright of the film's music.
The actor-producer was even spotted with a 'black eye' as a symbol of protest during the recently held Screen awards. The gesture earned him support of musicians including Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Kailash Kher, Vishal-Shekhar, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and others.
"Big respect! Thank you for your support and whatever happens whether the music releases or not 'One By Two' film needs all your support people," the music trio tweeted.

"Hats off to you Mr Abhay Deol! I'm speechless at your stand. Respect. Always," singer Sunidhi Chauhan tweeted.
"Today, Abhay Deol has shown he is a man of principles and courage. He's won the admiration and thanks of the entire film music fraternity," music director and singer Vishal Dadlani posted on Twitter.
"We need to revolutionise the work ethics of Indian music industry! No more illegal contracts. Boycott the music mafia," tweeted Alisha Chinai.
