Even after you have done good work, you need to spend money to promote your work. Lots of musicians can’t afford that. You need money for all of this. You need a system to support your passion but that doesn’t exist here,” he said and added that in the West, a …

Tanishk Bagchi on roping in Pitbull for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 title track
