YRF Reacts to Tanishk Bagchi’s Saiyaara Royalty Allegations

Responding to Bagchi’s allegations, a YRF spokesperson said, “Saiyaara 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 & time.”

Earlier in the day, Bagchi had shared a post on social media claiming that he was yet to receive the royalty he believes is due for the film’s title track. Calling it his first collaboration with Yash Raj Films, the composer said he agreed to the project because he believed in the music. He also claimed that the fee he received for the song was largely spent on its production.
