Earlier in the day, Bagchi had shared a post on social media claiming that he was yet to receive the royalty he believes is due for the film’s title track. Calling it his first collaboration with Yash Raj Films, the composer said he agreed to the project because he believed in the music. He also claimed that the fee he received for the song was largely spent on its production.
Bagchi further claimed that, according to the royalty statement he received, he is yet to receive Rs 8 lakh in royalties despite the song’s massive success across streaming and digital platforms. However, the composer has since deleted the post from his social media account.
Released on July 18, 2025, filmmaker Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara marked the acting debut of Ahaan Panday and catapulted him and Aneet Padda to nationwide fame. The film went on to become a blockbuster, while its soundtrack emerged as one of the year’s biggest musical successes.
