Amaal Mallik Accuses Paid PR Against Awarapan 2
Amaal Mallik, the composer of the new film Awarapan 2, has accused some people in the film industry of paying for bad publicity against his film and its new song, 'Yeh Awarapan.'
He says these people don't want the film or the music to do well.
Amaal also explained that the original Awarapan soundtrack from 2007 was made from existing songs that were changed for the movie.
He believes the new song is special and asks fans to judge it fairly.
He is not worried about the bad talk online because he knows the audience loves his music.
Amaal Mallik alleges a paid PR campaign by industry rivals against Awarapan 2 and its title track 'Yeh Awarapan.'
The title track, sung by Arijit Singh, has generated buzz but also comparisons to the original Awarapan soundtrack.
Amaal clarifies that the original soundtrack was composed of licensed independent tracks recreated by Pritam.
He emphasizes that the new soundtrack is not intended to replace or recreate the original.
Amaal expresses confidence in the audience's support and the lasting value of genuine music.
