Anurag Kashyap Slams T-Series for Underpaying Musicians, Affecting Film Music Quality

Acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has publicly criticized music giant T-Series, accusing them of underpaying for the music rights to his films. This practice, he argues, has a direct impact on the quality of music being produced.

Kashyap’s Claims Target T-Series’ Payment Practices

Kashyap, known for his critically acclaimed films like “Dev.D” and “Gangs of Wasseypur,” claims that T-Series, headed by Bhushan Kumar, doesn’t offer competitive rates for music rights. He believes this discourages talented musicians from working on his projects and forces him to compromise on the quality of music.

Impact on Films Like “Dev.D” and “Gangs of Wasseypur”?

While not explicitly stating that the music in “Dev.D” and “Gangs of Wasseypur” was directly affected by these alleged payment issues, Kashyap’s comments imply that the broader practice of underpayment within the music industry impacts the overall quality of film music. His statement, “They don’t get good music,” suggests a direct link between fair compensation and artistic output.
