Glad he spoke. After watching TOM recently and seeing the calibre of many music director legends I can't help but think what they must've gone thru. Because if ARR has gone thru it after all the awards and Oscars, imagine what others went thru.
i don’t know too much, but the way I see it, issue is that these musicians have no control over their songs. It’s t series or zee music or whatever that owns your songs. So when comes to a remake I understand why the original composers are upset. Or when any singer who already sang a song, can be scrapped and replaced.
In essence, it’s your talent, but the labels reap not only the profits but also the benefits cuz they can have another singer do a cover/remake etc.
This is similar story even in the west, although it seems the situation is evolving with many singers buying back their songs from recording labels. I am not sure BW is doing that, or can do that.
So I get ARRs frustration. It’s not only that the whole music industry sucks right now, you add the politics to survive, it’d take the willpower of a a saint not to feel embittered .
