Singer Sanam Puri, who is the lead vocalist of the band, Sanam, recorded Coffee Peetey Peetey, a romantic song for Akshay Kumar's upcoming action thriller Gabbar Is Back. He was shocked when the album released with the song but his name missing from the credits. While the voice is definitely his, the singer who's getting all the applause is Dev Negi.

An upset Sanam told Mirror, "It's really disappointing. I recorded the song two months ago and at that time the Gabbar team was really happy with it. I don't know what happened in the interim."

He admits that he'd heard that his version of Coffee Peetey had been dubbed by another singer and was prepared to hear the song in someone else's voice. "But they eventually released my version without giving me the credit. Now only my regular listeners will know it's me, the rest think the voice is Dev's. It's so unfair," he lamented.

Didn't he try to reach out to the production house? "I did, but nobody bothered to enlighten me or correct the error," he groused.
