Amaal Mallik seeks Hero title track credit
Hindustan Times··14 Sept
Composer Amaal Mallik said Salman Khan Films omitted credit for his 2015 Hero title track Main Hoon Hero Tera. Armaan Malik and later Salman Khan sang the song, with lyrics by Kumaar. After an 11-year anniversary post on Saturday, Mallik said the composer and lyricist were left out. He said the note targets the banner’s teams, not Salman Khan.
