Amaal Mallik Accuses Tanishk Bagchi of Misconduct and Copying Music

Amaal Mallik has made serious allegations against fellow music composer Tanishk Bagchi, accusing him of various unethical practices, including music plagiarism and mistreatment of female artists. The controversy erupted after Tanishk claimed that Yash Raj Films had not fulfilled his royalty payment for the song 'Saiyaara.' Although Amaal initially refrained from naming Tanishk directly, his references to 'Mr. Remix & Destroyer of Originals' made it clear who he was targeting. He later shared a photo of Tanishk, labeling him as the 'Zazooo of the music industry,' further intensifying the feud.

In a series of posts on social media, Amaal accused Tanishk of orchestrating a publicity campaign that involved planting articles and using outdated photographs of himself. He expressed his frustration, stating, 'Dear Mr. Remix & Destroyer of Originals… 10 years too late but I will show the world your aukaad (stature).' Amaal urged Tanishk to cease using his old images for promotional articles, emphasizing that he no longer wished to be associated with him. He also claimed that Tanishk presents a different persona in private, pretending to be friendly while harboring underlying animosity. Amaal questioned Tanishk's integrity, suggesting that he has profited from paid publicity but is misusing those resources.
