Amaal Mallik Slams Salman Khan Films Over Credit Snub

Singer and music composer Amaal Mallik has strongly reacted to the Salman Khan Films team over an anniversary post celebrating 11 years of the 2015 film Hero.

The production house had shared a post on social media marking the anniversary of the film, but failed to credit Amaal Mallik, the composer of one of the songs from the film's soundtrack.

Amaal Mallik took to the comments section of the post to express his disappointment and called out the production house for their decision to leave out the composer and lyricist. He described the move as an act of “audacity” and stressed that music creators deserve to be acknowledged for their work.

The composer 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.”

Amaal Mallik further called on the team to follow basic professional etiquette, adding, “Learn to do the basics otherwise delete this page.” He also urged the team not to remove his comment, saying that he wanted Salman Khan to see it.

The film Hero, which starred Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty in their Bollywood debuts, was directed by Nikkhil Advani and featured a soundtrack composed by Amaal Mallik, Meet Bros Anjjan, Sachin–Jigar and Jassi Katyal.

This is not the first time Amaal Mallik has spoken out against the treatment of music composers in the film industry. Earlier this year, he alleged that powerful people had sidelined him and claimed that he had been removed from more than 60 projects over the years.

Amaal Mallik had also announced that he would be taking a break from film music until next year, citing the need for physical and mental healing. However, some of his older unreleased songs could still make it to the audience if the films they belong to get a theatrical release.

The incident has sparked a debate about the importance of crediting music composers and lyricists in the film industry. Amaal Mallik's outburst has highlighted the need for greater recognition and respect for music creators in Bollywood.

In a industry where music plays a crucial role in the success of a film, it is surprising that the production house failed to credit the composer and lyricist. The incident has also raised questions about the professionalism of the production house and their treatment of music composers.

The controversy has sparked a reaction from fans and fellow musicians, who have come out in support of Amaal Mallik. The incident has also highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in the film industry.

In conclusion, the incident has sparked a debate about the importance of crediting music composers and lyricists in the film industry. Amaal Mallik's outburst has highlighted the need for greater recognition and respect for music creators in Bollywood. It remains to be seen how the production house will respond to the controversy and whether they will take steps to credit the composer and lyricist in the future.
