Why is Amaal Mallik feuding with Salman Khan's production house?
What's the story
Music composer-singer Amaal Malik has publicly criticized Salman Khan's production house for not crediting him and lyricist Kumaar in a recent Instagram post. The post celebrated the 11th anniversary of the 2015 film Hero but failed to acknowledge its music creators. In a comment on the official Salman Khan Films account, Mallik expressed his discontent.
Discontent expressed
'I love the audacity you have shown'
Mallik wrote, "Whoever is handling the page or the social media of @skfilmsofficial, I love the audacity you have shown by leaving out the composer & the lyricist of the song lol!"
"It doesn't look nice that a song that is created with the pain, blood, sweat, and tears of a music composer & his lyric writer is celebrated without the creators being respected or even mentioned."
Demands made
'Learn to do the basics'
Mallik further demanded, "Learn to do the basics; otherwise delete this page."
"Don't delete my comment, let Salman sir see it as well, so that he knows you guys screwed up."
Notably, the post has been edited, and Mallik and lyricist Kumaar are now tagged.
Hero, directed by Nikkhil Advani, marked the Bollywood debut of Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty.
