“I wonder why producers and actors are not coming forward to

music fraternity is supporting us. In fact, Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt are
also on our side,” he added.
The actor has been vocal about
this on social media as well. “…The entire music fraternity is up in
arms against record labels because they expect musicians to sign a
contract with a clause that is against the law. Producers like myself
are expected to make sure that they sign, which means if anyone will be
arrested for breaking the law it will be the producer…”, says his post

responsible,” he said. Read more..
