Anurag Kashyap takes a dig at T-Series for underpaying for his film’s music

The filmmaker slammed the giant music company, saying it doesn’t care about the quality of music.

Recently, during a podcast interview with The Juggernaut, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap shared his unbiased opinions about the trends in the film industry. He slammed the biggest music label in India, T-Series, saying they don’t care about the quality of the music and how they only underpaid for the music in his film’s music.

Anurag Kashyap slams T-Series for this reason.

The director criticised T-Series during the podcast in a candid revelation. He shared that the label paid very little for the music of his films like Dev D, Gangs of Wasseypur, which have gone on to receive much acclaim over the years. He said, “The idea is not to cater to the market. If T-Series, Bhushan Kumar, is not buying it, then it is good music. T Series doesn’t buy good music at a good price. They paid very less for Dev D, Gangs of Wasseypur or Gulaal. They only pay for who is the star in it. They don’t pay for the quality of music. They paid nothing for Dev D music. Ask the producers, UTV studios… they don’t understand what’s good music. They will only pay for a certain kind of music and only push for that.”

Anurag Kashyap spoke about T-Series paying the highest for Bombay Velvet.

He added, “The highest amount of money they paid for any of my movies is Bombay Velvet. As music, it was very good, but it worked the least for them. Because nobody wanted to listen to jazz. They paid the highest price for that, not Dev D or Gangs of Wasseypur.”
