Tanishk Bagchi Breaks Silence On Liger’s Aafat’s Criticism Of Using Bollywood’s Se*ual Assault Dialogues & Says “We Didn’t Think Too Much About It”

Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday’s film Liger has been in the headlines for a long time. The film even faced a backlash after Aafat song was released. Several netizens slammed the composer and makers of the film for employing dialogues from scenes of abuse. Now song’s composer Tanishk Bagchi has opened up about it.

Puri Jagannath’s directorial was released in theatres last week to mixed negative responses from critics as well as the audience. The film was also released at a time when Bollywood is reeling under an infamous trend with many stars being at the receiving end of a Boycott.

Now during a conversation with Mid-day, Tanishk Bagchi revealed the controversial lyrics used in Liger’s song Aafat. He said, “This was the first time that I was working with Vijay, so it took a while to understand the kind of voice that would suit his face. I had the situation and brief in mind. I keep creating [tunes], and when I looked through my bank, I found this one that I thought would be [fitting] here. Vijay and Ananya have different features and body languages. I’ve never seen Vijay in a dance track, so I had to retain a straight groove.”
