You won’t believe what AP Dhillon said about Bollywood industry, ‘It’s about setting…’

AP Dhillon, the Canadian-Punjabi music sensation, has been making waves with his decision to step away from Bollywood film songs. In a recent interview, Dhillon shared his reasons for this choice, citing his desire to maintain artistic integrity and independence. He emphasized that he doesn’t want to “sell his music” to Bollywood, suggesting that the business model of the film industry may compromise his creative vision.

What did AP Dhillon say?

In his recent conversation on a YouTube channel, Dhillon said, “I’ll tell you why I’ve never done a Bollywood song yet. It’s only because I care for my people. It’s not about Bollywood. I want to set an example for my community. I told them that I’m happy to do a song for them, but they must first change the way they do business. For example, when a Punjabi artiste does a song for a Bollywood film, the producer owns the song, the remix rights, everything… They exploit the song and the artist for their own profit. I put my foot down and said no.”

AP Dhillon explained that he turned down collaborations with big actors because they wanted to own the rights to his music, which he refused. He insisted that he couldn’t work under those conditions and required a change in their approach.
