Gully Boy: Music Producer Sajeel Kapoor Reveals He Isn't Paid For the New Track From This Ranveer Singh - Alia Bhatt Movie
Sajeel Kapoor had originally composed Mere Gully Mein with rapper Naezy.
Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt's Gully Boy is making headlines for all the right reasons. From receiving a thunderous response to its trailer to getting a thumbs up reaction for its music, Zoya Akhtar has all the good reasons to be on cloud nine and sit back and relax till her film hits the screen. The Padmaavat actor who plays a rapper in this film has definitely rapped his way into our hearts and his recent song, 'Mere Gully Mein' is being played on a loop by us already. However while everything is going fine around it, there a certain claim by music producer Sajeel Kapoor who insists that he hasn't been paid for the same track that was originally composed by him.

The makers of Gully Boy used his song Mere Gully Mein in the movie without paying his due fees. The Hip-Hop music producer took to his Twitter account to reveal the 'sad' side of this industry where a talent fails to get his due credit. In an elaborate post on his handle, he revealed he wasn't even aware that his original song with Naezy will be used in the film and he came to know later somehow. He hasn't been paid for this track despite having a contract and a publishing split that was agreed and assigned.

This is indeed a very grave matter and we hope Zoya Akhtar with Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment respond to him immediately. Recently an international actor working in Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika had claimed that the makers hadn't paid him his fees. However, his dues were cleared later and we hope Sajeel gets his credit and fees too.
