    Yash Raj Films has not paid my royalties: Salim Merchant
  • Singer Salim Merchant, part of popular Bollywood score composer duo Salim-Sulaiman, has claimed that renowned production banner Yash Raj Films (YRF) has not paid his dues in royalties, despite having collected it on his behalf.

    He also accused Bhushan Kumar's T-Series of not clearing his dues.

    The comments have come after an FIR was recently lodged against YRF over non-payment of royalties to artists.
