Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara has clocked one year since its release. Music composer Tanishk Bagchi, who composed the title track of the blockbuster film Saiyaara, has alleged that he hasn’t been paid the royalty for the chartbuster track. Now, the studio behind the film, Yash Raj Films (YRF), has responded to the allegations levelled by the composer.
Tanishk Bagchi’s allegations
On Saturday, the composer took to Instagram and shared the poster of the film. Tanishk also penned a long note in the caption, sharing how he feels betrayed as he wasn’t remunerated correctly. He wrote, “I gave this song everything I had. From the production to the composition, working with the lyricist and singers, recording, vocal tuning, sound, arrangements every single detail mattered to me. I treated it like it was my own. Whatever YRF had paid me, all of that nominal amount was used to do the live and mixes... what was left was zero, yes. That's what I earned from a song so big.”
