Anu Malik ‘Sabotaged' Daboo Malik's Career, Says Amaal Mallik: ‘He Competes With Me Too'
Last Updated: Amaal Mallik claimed every time his father Daboo Malik got work, Anu Malik would snatch it from the producers by offering to work for little money or even for free. Music composer-singer Amaal Mallik recently got candid about the deep-rooted tensions within the Malik family. He revealed that his father Daboo Malik, and uncle Anu Malik have had issued with each other on the professional front. Calling Anu Malik 'overly competitive', he said that the renowned music composer has often tried to sabotage Daboo Malik's career. Amaal claimed that every time his dad got work, Anu Malik would snatch it from the producers by offering to work for little money or even free. Amaal added that Anu Malik often competes with him as well. While speaking with Siddharth Kannan, Amaal Mallik said, 'When Daboo Malik and Anu Malik meet, you can't separate them. They are like mad brothers. But, in the professional dynamics and jealousy, Anu Malik can get a little fiery. They have had issues with each other on the professional front. Anu Malik was overly competitive with my father. He wanted to prove that he is the best composer from his family and often tried to sabotage my dad's career. Every time my dad got a movie, he would go and snatch his work from the producers by offering to work for little money or even free." Amaal Mallik Alleges Sajid-Wajid Also Sabotaged Daboo Malik's Career He further stated that it was Anu Malik's wrongdoings that made him want to prove himself. He also alleged that not just Anu Malik, even composer duo Sajid-Wajid sabotaged Daboo Malik's career. 'They would play games. My dad was betrayed by his own family and friends from the music industry. My dad was too naive to fight back," he said. He further shared that his father dealt with depression from age 32 to 45. When Amaal began working at the age of 16, he only wanted to take 'revenge' with his music. He expressed his disappointment with the music industry and said that it failed to support Daboo Malik. 'He has worked on at least 70 films but nobody ever invited him. He was often addressed as Anu Malik's brother… He's struggling. I just wanted to rip off the struggling tag from him. I just want to do something that people don't address us as Anu Malik's nephews but, introduce him as uncle of Armaan and Amaal," he said. Amaal further added that Anu Malik also often tries to encroach on his projects. 'Not just my father's work, but Anu Malik is behind my work as well. A lot of times when I make announcements, he jumps into that as well. He competes with me too. But, at least he respects me and tells me I have done some tremendous work," said Amaal. Daboo Malik has composed music for films such as Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, Tumko Na Bhool Payenge, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, I Proud To Be An Indian, among others.

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai's love blossomed on sets of Hum Dil Chuke Sanam, shares co-star: ‘Both had moony eyes'
It's been nearly 25 years since Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam graced the silver screen, yet the film continues to be remembered not just for its cinematic brilliance but also for the real-life romance that unfolded behind the scenes. Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai, the lead pair of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 1999 romantic drama, fell in love during the making of the film. Their chemistry was undeniable, and according to co-star Smita Jaykar, who played Aishwarya's mother in the film, that off-screen affection significantly enhanced the film's emotional intensity. In a recent interview with Filmymantra, Smita opened up about the couple's dynamic on set. 'Their affair flourished there. And it helped the film a lot. Both of them had those moony-moony eyes, and romance was showing on their faces. That worked very well for the film,' she said, adding that their real emotions translated into authentic on-screen performances that elevated the storytelling.

She noted that while he was known for his temper, she never witnessed him get angry on set. 'People tend to exaggerate when it comes to film personalities. We don't always know the other person's side—what they did to provoke that anger,' she pointed out. Smita also had kind words for Aishwarya Rai, calling her naturally beautiful and grounded. 'Without makeup, too, she looked so pretty. Very humble, very grounded—at least at that time when I knew her,' she said. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam remains the only film in which Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai played love interests, although they briefly shared screen space in cameo appearances in Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke and Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam. While their real-life romance was short-lived, it left a lasting impression on fans and became a memorable chapter in Bollywood history.

5 Bollywood films that faced delays before finally hitting screens: Shah Rukh Khan's Raees to Akshay Kumar's Mere Jeevan Saathi
Several Bollywood films saw many delays before finally reaching audiences, battling challenges like financial crises, box office clashes, and legal disputes. Despite these hurdles, they eventually made their way to the big screen, sometimes years later. Today, let's dive into some notable movies that endured long waits before their release like Shah Rukh Khan's Raees and Akshay Kumar's Mere Jeevan Saathi, proving that good things truly come to those who wait. 1. Raees (2017) Delay Duration: 1 year The 2017 film Raees, starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, showed the superstar's brooding intensity and his performance is still remembered till date. The crime drama faced a delay to avoid box office clash. Set to release in Eid 2016, it was pushed to Republic Day 2017 release to avoid clash with Salman Khan's Sultan. The film was further rescheduled to January 25, 2017, to avoid another box-office clash with Kaabil. Directed by Rahul Dholakia and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Excel Entertainment, it also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui in an important role. Raees was a significant commercial and critical success. 2. Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002) Delay Duration: 6 years Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam stars Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan in lead roles. The film shows a complex love triangle as it revolves around themes of insecurity and emotional turmoil. SRK's character gets jealous and finds it difficult to deal with his wife's close bond with her childhood friend. The film was delayed for six years. Producer K.C. Bokadia was dealing with the financial crisis in the 1990s despite giving big hits like Aaj Ka Arjun and Phool Baney Angaaray leading to the delay in Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam. Though star-studded, it was a moderate success. The film became an average grosser earning Rs 34.76 crore worldwide and was made on a budget of Rs 12 crore. 3. Ugly (2014) Delay Duration: 2 years Directed by Anurag Kashyap, the 2014 film Ugly is a neo-noir psychological thriller that revolves around the kidnapping of a young girl. The film showcases human greed, egos, and the perfect presentation of emotions. The film faced a delay in release due to a legal battle with CBFC over anti-smoking disclaimer. Anurag filed a case against the rule of mandatory anti-smoking disclaimer and lost the case. This caused the delay in the release of the film. Ugly became a critical success, but unlike other Anurag's films it wasn't a massive box office hit. 4. Pakeezah (1972) Delay Duration: 16 years Pakeezah is directed by Kamal Amrohi and features Meena Kumari, Ashok Kumar, Kamal Kapoor, and Veena. Set in early 20th-century Lucknow, the story follows a courtesan and dancer who clings to the belief that her purity, both of heart and body, will lead her to find true love and honor. However, the film faced many obstacles. The personal fallout between director Kamal Amrohi and lead actress Meena Kumari in 1964 caused delays, and Kumari's struggle with alcoholism often hampered shooting. Tragically, she passed away just weeks after the film's release. Released in 1972, Pakeezah emerged as a landmark hit, becoming one of the most commercially successful films of its time. 5. Mere Jeevan Saathi (2006) Delay Duration: 2 years Starring Akshay Kumar, Karisma Kapoor, and Ameesha Patel in lead roles, Mere Jeevan Saathi revolves around Vicky, madly in love with Anjali. However, things take a turn when his ex-college friend Natasha enters their life and aspires to make him a global singer at all costs. The film faced delays due to several reasons like timing of cricket matches, production's financial crisis and more. There were also reports that a 'cat fight' between Kareena and Ameesha was also one of the reasons behind its delay. Mere Jeevan Saathi did not become an average grosser upon its release. Why do films get delayed? Films get delayed due to a mix of several reasons such as creative, logistical, and external challenges. Issues such as creative disagreements between cast and crew, script rewrites, reshoots, stalling progress, scheduling conflicts, financial crisis, filming halted natural disasters, pandemics, post-production hurdles, and more push release date ahead. Sometimes even to avoid box office clashes or to release it on certain festivals, studios also delay films' releases. The above-mentioned Bollywood films prove a perfect example of being patient and never losing hope. Despite several delays, the cast and crew remained committed to bringing the film to the audiences, and their wish ultimately got fulfilled. It shows passion, patience, and persistence ultimately pays off when the time comes.
