In 2006, Macedonian Romani singer Esma Redžepova planned to file a lawsuit against the producers of the movie together with Naat Veliov of Kočani Orkestar. She claimed that her song "Chaje Šukarije", which is featured in the film, had been used without authorization. She demanded an €800,000 ($1,000,000) compensation from the producers of the film, otherwise she claimed she would bring the case to court and demand a much higher amount. However, Redžepova ultimately received a €26,000 compensation, as her producers had authorized the song's use in the film without notifying her.
