Jalebi: Lyricist Prashant Ingole Is Disheartened Over Co-Writing Credits For The Song Pal

Lyricist Prashant Ingole, known for his work in hit films like Bajirao Mastani and Mary Kom, says he is “hurt and disheartened” as the makers of Jalebi – The Everlasting Taste of Love got another lyricist to co-write a part of the forthcoming film’s song Pal.

The song released last week. But its inception happened around one and a half years ago.

“(Composers) Javed-Mohsin had approached me. It has a powerful melody. So after listening to it, I said I would love to write it. I wrote the first verse. We all were kicked about it,” Ingole told IANS.

Jalebi – The Everlasting Taste of Love is presented by Vishesh Films in association with Mahesh Bhatt and produced by Mukesh Bhatt.

“Later Vishesh Films took the song. Around January or February, I was told that they were getting another lyricist on board,” said the lyricist.

Then, Kunaal Vermaa was brought in to co-write Pal.

“Ninety per cent of the song is mine. It hurts a person… when you have written such a beautiful verse, why would somebody go for another lyricist? I am a passionate writer.

“I don’t believe in money or fame. When this happened, I felt really bad. I even suggested to them to get the whole song written by the other lyricist. That also didn’t happen. This was very disheartening for me. If you are a creative and passionate person, it will kill you emotionally.”
