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 people. 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.”
