Amaal Mallik Cites 2015 Royalty Fight Amid Bagchi Payment Dispute

Composer references decade-old struggle over Saiyaara dues as current controversy highlights unpaid artist claims in Hindi film music.

Amaal Mallik broke his silence on July 19 with a social media post directed at Tanishk Bagchi, asking where his colleague was in 2015 when he was fighting the industry system alone [1]. The message anchors a current dispute over alleged unpaid royalties to a specific historical grievance involving eight lakh rupees owed for the song Saiyaara [5]. Mallik stated he received no support during that earlier battle and has spent more than a decade navigating the Hindi film music industry without institutional backing [2] [6].
