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.

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.
