Soon afterwards, Bagchi&#8217;s Instagram post appeared to have been deleted, as it is no longer visible on his profile.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Responding to the allegations, a YRF spokesperson emphasised that the Saiyaara title track was a collaborative effort between three composers\u2014Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami\u2014and that royalty payments have been handled according to the agreement signed by all parties.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>\u201cSaiyaara title track was a beautiful collaboration between three composers (Tanishk Bagchi along with Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami). We are deeply thankful for their brilliance in creating a timeless song that has touched a million hearts. Royalties for the title track have been shared and will continue to be shared by YRF equally between all three composers as contractually agreed by all, including Tanishk. YRF has paid every collaborator their due, as per contract, all within mutually agreed terms &amp; time,&#8221; the spokesperson said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Hours after YRF released its statement, Bagchi&#8217;s Instagram post was no longer available on his account. The composer has not commented publicly on why it was removed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Earlier on July 18, Bagchi had shared an emotional note explaining why he felt disappointed with the financial outcome of the song despite its massive popularity. <!-- -->Claiming that \u20b98 lakh in royalties was still pending, he reflected on the effort he had invested in creating the track.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>\u201cThis was my first film with @yrfentertainment @yrfmusic\u2026 I agreed to everything because I believed in the music. 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,&#8221; he wrote.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>He further claimed that the payment he received from the production house was entirely spent on the making of the song. \u201cWhatever YRF had paid me, all of that nominal amount was used to do the live and mixes\u2026 what was left was zero, yes. That\u2019s what I earned from a song so big,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Bagchi also questioned the royalty amount reflected in his statement. \u201cWhat hurts the most is that, as per the royalty statement, I\u2019m still yet to receive just \u20b98 lakhs in royalties for a song that has gone on to do millions of streams and views across platforms. <!-- -->Honestly, for the amount of work, time and passion I put into this song, \u20b98 lakhs feels like peanuts. I genuinely believed a song that reached this scale would have earned much more,&#8221; he further claimed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Clarifying that his post was not intended to seek sympathy, the composer said he simply wanted to highlight the effort that goes into creating successful music and why he was disheartened by the outcome. \u201cFrom now on, I\u2019ll only work with producers and directors who value creativity, honesty and the people who build their music,&#8221; he wrote.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>He concluded his note by reflecting on loyalty and expressing gratitude to only a few people associated with the film. \u201cOne thing I\u2019ve also learned is that sometimes you give people your everything, and when success comes, they forget who stood by them. Anyway, I leave the rest to God. Time tells every story, and karma settles every account. The only person I respect in this whole film is Mohit Suri, because of him I did this film\u2026 and <!-- -->Irshad Kamil<!-- -->,&#8221; he concluded.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/hindi\/bollywood\/news\/tanishk-bagchi-deletes-saiyaara-rs-8-lakh-unpaid-royalty-post-hours-after-yrf-responds-and-says-every-collaborator-was-paid\/articleshow\/132497181.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A year after Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, was released on July 18, music composer Tanishk Bagchi stirred controversy by claiming that he is yet to receive \u20b98 lakh in royalties for the film&#8217;s title track.
