Shekhar Suman's upcoming directorial debut 'Heartless' has been in news for some controversial reasons lately. Apparently, the singers of the film, Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan have refused to sign singer's contracts with the producer of the film.
Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan had earlier declined to sign their contracts which the singers claim deprives them of their rightful royalty. Since the music of the film cannot be released by T-Series without the signing of the contracts by the singers, the music label has requested director Shekhar Suman to consider getting the songs re-dubbed by other singers.
Meanwhile, Sonu took to twitter stating, "Hw convniently me and Sunidhi r singled out 4 not signing d illegal, humiliating contracts... (sic)".
Music labels however claim that certain singers are misinterpreting the law as the contract is between the music labels and film producers and not the singers. Music labels do not even ask the singers for any money in return when the singers perform at live shows and make money
from the music which does not even belong to them.
There are other artists and composers too who support the producers as far as the contracts are concerned.
