'Big boys' in Bollywood removed me from60 films: Amaal
India, May 21 -- Singer-composer Amaal Mallik has once again spoken openly about his struggles in the entertainment industry, claiming that internal politics and powerful industry figures have significantly impacted his career.
On Tuesday night, Amaal shared a lengthy note on Instagram Stories (see above), claiming that he has lost out on 60 projects since 2019, having been removed by "big boys in powerful positions". He added, "20 films toh maine khud hi mana kar diye as it was beneath me to work in those setups."
The 35-year-old also hinted that he may eventually reveal names, while criticising what he described as years of behind-the-scenes politics. "I will not name them today, but their time will come someday... All of them are playing award-worthy politics and that's why you hear less of my music in films. I can't be part of a clout, a power setup, or be part of petty groupism."
Amaal, son of composer Daboo Malik and nephew of composer Anu Malik, added that even his family connections didn't help him: "Even the nepotism isn't working. So mujhe maaf karo, mera indie music suno."
This isn't the first time that Amaal has been so vocal about the industry. In February, he called out labels for pay disparity, saying, "Sooraj Dooba Hai from Roy (2015) earned Rs.60-Rs.70 crore for the label, and I got nothing except for the publishing rights, which are negligible, not even close to Rs.1 crore." htc...
