Music composer Amaal Mallik has leveled serious allegations of lobbying against him by a mixed syndicate of egoistic humans in the industry. The composer recently took to his X platform, formerly Twitter, and shared a detailed note discussing tough working conditions and hostility from certain professionals.
Allegations of Unfair Practices
In his post, Mallik wrote, 'My Dear AMAALIANS 2019 to 2026. The big boys in powerful positions have got me out of more than 60 odd projects. 20 films I myself refused as they were beneath me to work in those setups. The musician in me wouldn't be able to respect himself. I still did my bit, and will always do my best to put music and shoot videos whenever possible for my fans, with or without the movies. No regrets at all, it's their loss. But somehow it becomes a loss to my listeners and fans, and I'm sorry for that but I need to make it clear to all of you.'
Struggles and Threats
He further mentioned that he has been trying his best for the last eight years with utmost sincerity and some respectful terms and conditions, but sadly it does not work for this place. He also shared that his inability to hide the truth about the industry and its workings has irked them even more, leading to pointless threats to him and his family. 'There are some very powerful set of people that don't want me to be part of their films or any film for a matter of fact, and it's not just labels, it's beyond that now, it's a mixed syndicate of egoistic humans. I will not name them today but their time will come someday and the lord above will show them their place. All of them are playing award worthy politics for almost eight years now and that's why you hear less of my music in films,' he wrote.
Rejection of Groupism
Mallik added, 'I can't be part of a clout, a power setup, or be part of petty groupism. Even the nepotism isn't working. So forgive me... Listen to my indie music. If a film song comes great, if not then don't fret.'
Upcoming Album
On the work front, Amaal is set to release his first studio album in 2027. It will feature all the tracks that did not make it to the movies. He has titled the album 'Anjane Safar Par'.
