Producer
Sandip
Ssingh,
whose
latest
film
"PM
Narendra
Modi" is
embroiled
in
a
controversy
after
Javed
Akhtar
expressed
shock
over
getting
a
credit
for
a
song
in
the
biopic,
says
the
noted
lyricist
could
have
shared
his
grievance
personally.
The
74-year-old
writer's
name
was
mentioned
in
the
credits
of
the
film's
trailer
alongside
lyricists
Prasoon
Joshi,
Sameer,
Abhendra
Kumar
Upadhyay,
Sardaraa,
Parry
G
and
Lavraj.
"Javed
sahab
is
a
senior
writer
in
our
country.
We
have
grown
up
listening
to
his
songs.
We
have
used
one
of
his
old
songs
'Ishwar
Allah'
from
'1947:Earth'
and
gave
him
credit.
T-series
is
our
music
partner.
I
did
not
get
any
call
from
him
and
so
I
also
did
not
call
him.
He
spoke
about
it
on
Twitter,
so
even
I
replied
there.
But
he
could
have
called
us," Ssingh
told
PTI.
Apart
from
Akhtar,
another
veteran
lyricist,
Sameer,
had
said
that
he
was
surprised
to
find
his
name
in
the
credits.
In
his
response,
Ssingh
said
on
Saturday
that
they
gave
a
credit
to
Sameer
because
they
had
incorporated
his
song
"Suno
gaur
se
duniya
walon" from
the
film
"Dus".
The
trailer
of
the
Omung
Kumar-directed
film,
featuring
Vivek
Oberoi
in
the
lead,
released
on
Wednesday.
When
asked
about
the
response
to
the
trailer,
Ssingh
said,
"We
can't
always
have
everyone
like
our
work.
We
welcome
all
the
criticism
and
we
will
learn
from
it."
The
film,
which
also
features
Boman
Irani,
Manoj
Joshi,
Zarina
Wahab
and
Prashant
Narayanan,
releases
on
April
5.
