Amaal Mallik opens up about cutting ties with Bhushan Kumar, says he ‘shocked' T-series boss by rejecting offer: ‘People poisoned his mind against me'
Composer Amaal Mallik said that certain individuals have poised T-series head honcho Bhushan Kumar's mind against him, after the two had a falling out over music. He said that he turned down an offer to compose remixes for a T-series project, which 'shocked' Bhushan. He described the music mogul as a father figure of sorts in the industry, and said that he is certain Bhushan understands the true reasons behind his rejection. In an interview with Shardul Pandit, Amaal said, 'It's like a very step father, step son relationship. There is no personal animosity towards T-series. Bhushan Kumar is completely responsible for Amaal Mallik becoming Amaal Mallik. He's like an industry father to me. Salman Khan launched me, but Bhushan Kumar held my hand and took me to the biggest of movies and the biggest of production houses, on pure belief in my talent.' Also read – Amaal Mallik says he earns Rs 25 lakh in one evening, spends Rs 1 lakh in a day and Rs 20,000 on dinner: 'I am a very generous person' Amaal continued, 'He knows that he can count on me. He is the biggest man in music, he is the biggest label in the country. He can literally decide who becomes a star.' Asked what made him take Bhushan Kumar head-on, Amaal said, 'My understanding about how music should be made.' He explained, 'I tell him to his face that I won't do certain things. He may have (an ego about it). If I was that big, maybe even I would've had. I don't blame him. But in the last five or six years, he has understood…' Amaal admitted that it took Bhushan a while to come to this understanding. 'Initially, he was shocked that I was turning down his movies. But I know that no one has delivered 40 hits immediately after starting out; I have. If there is one person who has given more hits with T-series, it's Himesh Reshammiya. But if you tell me to remake Aashiq Banaya or Masakalli, I won't. I don't want to. Why should I? I'm working so hard to build my family's legacy, and I don't want the listeners' brickbats.' He said that when he left Bhushan's hand, Bhushan left his. 'He went ahead with the remixes regardless. My parents were definitely scared. My friends were as well. Even I was in two minds about it… But I know that he has a soft corner for me. When a man is very big, there will be people around him who will poison him. Also, I've never been disrespectful towards him and said, 'Jaa, nahi kar raha yeh picture'. I've always been respectful.'

In Tehran, John Abraham will portray ACP Rajiv Kumar, an officer divided between duty and conscience. Tehran, the upcoming Geopolitical thriller featuring John Abraham and Manushi Chillar in lead roles, is generating anticipation ever since its announcement. Helmed by Arun Gopalan, the film is set to stream on the OTT giant Zee5 on August 14. Backed by Maddock Films, Tehran unfolds amid rising global tensions between Israel and Iran. It goes into the mysterious world of international espionage, where a single man's allegiance can tip the scales between loyalty and betrayal. As fans await to see John and Manushi together for the first time, let's take a closer look at who plays what in the action-thriller: John Abraham In Tehran, John Abraham will portray ACP Rajiv Kumar, an officer divided between duty and conscience. Rajiv is concerned with international espionage and the geopolitical conflicts between Iran and Israel. He gets caught in the crossfire of political objectives and is forced to alter alliances, all while his own loyalty is called into doubt. Manushi Chillar Manushi, on the other hand, will be seen playing the role of SI Divya Rana. She is brave, determined, and dedicated to her words and responsibilities. Divya has everything she requires to serve the nation. Neeru Bajwa Punjabi actress Neeru Bajwa is also a part of Tehran, wherein she will be seen playing the role of Sheilaja. Her character is recognised as emotionally intense and complicated, representing the film's investigation of global politics and personal views. John Abraham On Tehran Speaking about the film, John said in a statement, 'Tehran is a truly global film, based on real-life events that resonate far beyond national borders. Playing ACP Rajeev Kumar in Tehran has been one of the most difficult and complex roles of my career, as he is not your typical nationalist. He's a man divided between duty and conscience, and that moral dilemma is what makes this story so captivating. This film isn't about good against evil; it's about navigating the grey. I'm glad to be a member of a project that dares to investigate these difficulties," quoted by Filmibeat. The official trailer of Tehran was recently released by the makers, receiving positive responses from fans and admirers.
