Sameer Anjaan, a prominent lyricist in the Indian music industry, has voiced his concerns regarding the increasing trend of neglecting original lyricists in favor of recreated songs. In an exclusive interview, he discussed a lawsuit filed by Trimurti Films against Aditya Dhar’s B62 Studios for unauthorized use of the song 'Oye Oye' in the film Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Anjaan, who has penned a new version of 'Tu Meri Zindagi Hai' for the upcoming film Aashiqui 3 starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, believes that original lyricists should also be involved in recreations. He expressed his dissatisfaction with how past recreations, particularly 'Dilbar' from Satyameva Jayate, were handled, stating that he was sidelined in favor of other writers. Anjaan is hopeful that his recent work will help set a healthy precedent in the industry. He also criticized music companies for relying on younger musicians who have yet to produce significant hits, questioning why they overlook established lyricists who contributed to their success. Despite his frustrations, Anjaan acknowledges positive collaborations, such as his involvement in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, where he wrote 'Mere Dholna 3.0.'
