Hmmm! he does not blame N-S and S-D recycling all those SAME OLD TUNES over and OVER!!??
Producer-director Suneel Darshan, who has three major films in various stages of completion, says the music industry is holding filmmakers in Mumbai at ransom.
"The music companies have ganged up against film producers. Since most music companies have started producing films, they have stopped buying music from the outside thereby creating a huge problem of music marketing for filmmakers. The music companies are trying to eliminate all outside competition by getting into film production. They are reverting to the old mould of the Bombay Talkies and Prabhat Studios, where everything from stars to music to directors is inhouse. I think the music companies are trying to control the entire filmmaking process."
Darshan is planning to take concrete steps to minimise the threat posed by music companies. Starting his own music company is an option. But after Vashu Bhagnani did the same with the music of his new production Jeena Sirf Merre Liye with limited success, Darshan feels the only solution is to put out quality-conscious music.
"I haven't decided what I am going to do with my music in future. But I am very careful about the quality of my music. Right now the soundtrack for my movie Talaash is one of the few albums to be doing well."
While Darshan is halfway through the direction of Mere Jeevan Saathi for veteran producer Suraj Prakash, he has also finished the Akshay Kumar-Kareena Kapoor starrer Talaash for another producer Pehlaj Nihalani. Meanwhile, director Raj Kanwar is busy completing Andaz with Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra which Darshan is producing.
