Singer and composer Amaal Mallik has posted a detailed note on social media, alleging that influential figures within the film and music industry have deliberately sidelined him over the years and replaced him in nearly 50 to 60 projects.
In his message, Amaal expressed regret to his supporters and acknowledged the setbacks he has faced professionally. He also stated that if opportunities in mainstream cinema continue to elude him, he is prepared to focus entirely on independent music, where he feels more creative freedom and contentment.
Amaal wrote, “The big boys in powerful positions have got me out of more than 60 odd projects. 20 films toh maine khud hi mana kar diye as it was beneath me to work in those setups. The musician in me wouldn’t be able to respect himself. I still did my bit, and will always do my best to put music and shoot videos whenever possible for my fans, with or without the movies. No regrets at all, it’s their loss 🙂 But somehow it becomes a loss to my listeners & fans, and I’m sorry for that, but I need to make it clear to all of you.”
The singer added, “I’m trying my best for the last 8 years, with utmost sincerity & obviously some respectful terms & conditions of working but sadly it doesn’t work for this place. Plus my inability to hide the truth about this place and its workings irks them further and leads to pointless threats to me and family. There are some very powerful set of people that don’t want me to be part of their films or any film for a matter of fact, and it’s not just LABELS, it’s beyond that NOW, it’s a mixed syndicate of egoistic humans.”
Amaal Mallik, while refraining from naming individuals, suggested that those responsible for his alleged professional setbacks would eventually face consequences. The singer-composer, aged 35, further spoke about what he described as internal politics within the industry, implying that it has affected his career trajectory over the years.
He said, “I will not name them today but their time will come someday and the lord above will show them their place. All of them are playing award-worthy politics for almost 8 years now, and that’s why you hear less of my music in films.”
Amaal Mallik’s music career
Amaal Mallik made his Bollywood debut as a music composer with “Jai Ho,” starring Salman Khan. However, he rose to widespread recognition the following year with the popular track “Sooraj Dooba Hai” from the film Roy.
Over the years, he went on to compose music for several notable films, including Hero, Airlift, Kapoor & Sons, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Kabir Singh, and Vedaa. Apart from composing, Amaal has also contributed as a playback singer on multiple tracks across his own compositions, further expanding his creative presence in the industry.
In the early phase of his career, he frequently released independent singles and non-film music, but his output in the indie space slowed down over time, with his last known independent release arriving in 2021.
More recently, Amaal was seen as a participant on Bigg Boss 19, marking another public appearance outside his music career.
