Singer Abhijeet Sawant has spoken out about industry issues after Arijit Singh announced he will no longer take up new playback singing work. According to Sawant, many singers in Bollywood are exploited and do not earn enough money for their work.
Sawant said playback singers often get fixed, limited pay. He explained that the industry prefers to keep singers from becoming bigger than the films they sing for. As a result, artists rarely get royalties, even if their songs become huge hits.
He also claimed many singers accept low offers simply to get their voice featured in movies. If they refuse, someone else may take the chance. This creates a cycle where artists are willing to trade earnings for visibility.
Sawant’s comments come amid wide discussion of Arijit Singh’s move to step back from playback singing after years as one of Bollywood’s most popular voices. The topic has reignited concerns about how musical talent is valued and paid in the Indian film world.
