Amaal Mallik has raised questions over the way music creators are credited online after Salman Khan Films shared a post marking 11 years of ‘Hero’. The composer, who created the song ‘Main Hoon Hero Tera’ for the 2015 film, objected to the absence of his name and lyricist Kumaar’s name from the anniversary post.The post featured Salman Khan performing ‘Main Hoon Hero Tera’. Amaal responded in the comments, directing his criticism at the social media team handling the official account. He also clarified that his remarks were not aimed at Salman personally, but at the omission of the song’s original creators.Expressing his displeasure, Amaal wrote, “Whoever is handling the social media of @skfilmsofficial, I love the audacity you have shown by leaving out the composer and the lyricist of the song.”He went on to highlight the effort that goes into creating music and questioned why those behind a song are sometimes forgotten when the work is celebrated. “The song that is created with the pain, blood, sweat and tears of a music composer and his lyricist, and is celebrated without the creators being respected or even mentioned,” he added.Amaal also urged the team to follow basic professional courtesy when posting about music. “Learn to do the basics,” he wrote, while requesting that his comment not be deleted and that Salman Khan get a chance to read it.‘Main Hoon Hero Tera’ was composed by Amaal, with Kumaar credited for the lyrics and Amaal’s brother Armaan Malik lending his voice to the original version. Salman Khan later recorded another version of the song.The omission became a talking point after Salman Khan Films posted the anniversary tribute featuring Salman performing the track, prompting Amaal to publicly question why the composer and lyricist were not mentioned.Amaal later elaborated on the issue in an Instagram Story on Sunday, saying that the demand for proper recognition of music creators is not a new one. He said he continues to speak about it because artistes are often left without due credit when it matters. “Who wants to keep this drama and get into controversies? I have to do it because no one else talks on time, and this fight has been on for over four-five decades! It has always been for music and credits,” he wrote.He further stressed that calling out missing credits should not be mistaken for an attempt to court controversy or attract attention, arguing that recognising the people who create music is simply about giving them their due.
