A lot of big Punjabi singers have worked with the Bollywood industry, but that is not the case with AP Dhillon. Read ahead to know the shocking revelations made by the singer while explaining why he hasn’t done a Bollywood song yet.
Famous Punjabi singer AP Dhillon has been creating a buzz in the music industry by blending the genres of pop, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic dance music (EDM). The singer is known for his soulful and earthy voice. His songs, like Afsos, Excuses, With You, and Brown Munde, among others, have defined an entire generation’s perception of Punjabi music. It is a well-known fact that many major Punjabi singers, like Diljit Dosanjh and Guru Randhawa, have worked with the Bollywood industry. But that is not the case with AP Dhillon. Recently, the singer revealed the reason behind this, despite getting offers from multiple ‘big stars.’
Why has AP Dhillon not made a Bollywood song yet?
In a recent candid conversation with YouTube channel SMTV, Dhillon talked about how he does not sing for Bollywood because of the fact that the industry is exploitative when it comes to artists. He 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. They exploit the song and the artist for their own profit.”
AP Dhillon thinks A-listers need to take a step
The singer avoided taking any names but continued saying, “I don’t want to take names, but a couple of huge actors said that they want my music in their film. I made the song; we even had the scene in mind. But they want to own the song; they want the rights to the song, the remix rights; they want to exploit it. That’s not correct.”
Dhillon continued, saying that there needs to be a sense of solidarity among artists, especially A-listers. He emphasized the fact that he does not want young artists to be exploited, but if senior A-listers keep collaborating with producers, then this is not going to stop. He said, “I don’t want a young artist to lose out on their source of income by selling their hit song. I don’t want them to be exploited. But the only problem is that the other A-listers are still giving songs.”
