The comments caught the attention of Otnicka himself, who shared a post on Instagram to address the issue. He shared that the matter is being taken into consideration and he will update with more information.
“Guys, thanks for hundreds of your messages about the movie ‘Leo’. I can see everything, but it’s physically impossible to answer everyone. The mail is overflowing with messages, Instagram, as well as thousands of comments on YouTube under the video “Where Are You”. The situation is very unclear… We are looking into this and a little later I will give an assessment of everything that is happening (sic). But I'm not accusing anyone yet. Important! One of the authors of "Otnicka - Where Are You" is also a music composer Artem Mikhaenkin - @mihaenkin Thank you” he said.
Otnicka's response to fans
Otnicka even pointed out that he was unaware that his song was being used in Leo. He wrote in response to a fan comment, "The label does not own the copyright and cannot grant a license without the artist's knowledge. No one contacted me and the team (sic)."
