Composer Fights for Song Credits Years Later
19 Sep
Summary
- Amaal Mallik publicly addressed a long-standing credit dispute.
- He cited years of failed private attempts to resolve the issue.
- The dispute reignited after a social media post omitted his name.
Composer Amaal Mallik has recently spoken out about the persistent issue of song credit attribution, focusing on the track 'Main Hoon Hero Tera'. He explained that he spent years trying to resolve the credit dispute privately with various industry stakeholders before making his concerns public.
The situation resurfaced when Salman Khan Films posted about the song's 11th anniversary without acknowledging Amaal as the composer. This prompted Amaal to share his frustration, noting that many of his song credits still lack his name.
Amaal Mallik also touched upon his father, Daboo Malik's, past silence on similar issues, suggesting a family pattern of enduring industry relationship concerns. He further recalled having to fight for proper recognition for his first solo soundtrack, 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story,' in 2016, highlighting this as a recurring struggle.
'Main Hoon Hero Tera' was composed by Amaal Mallik, with lyrics by Kumaar. While his brother Armaan Malik initially recorded it, Salman Khan later released his own version. Amaal emphasized the importance of acknowledging composers and lyricists when their work is celebrated.
