Mumbai May 9 (IANS) Music composer duo Sachin-Jigar say the casting couch exists everywhere but hope people come "off their dirty ideas" and make way for true talent.
Sachin-Jigar were speaking at the second season of "Talking Music" on Saavn a music and audio streaming service.
On the existence of the casting couch Jigar said: "I would say (it is) everywhere. It is there of course nobody wants it to be there but it has been there and it still exists I feel. It is something I will strongly oppose and do not believe in but at the same time I want people to know that it is not only in Bollywood it is just everywhere and it s absolutely disgusting."
Sachin said that for him and Jigar it has always been about discovering a new voice or a new lyric writer.
"That changes the way our sound is and maybe that casting couch is really meant for bringing about new talent to focus. And I hope that it finds its true meaning. I just hope that people come off their dirty little ideas and make way for talent who focus more " he added.
The composers are known for songs like "Beat pe booty" "D se dance" "Afeemi" and "Beh chala".
They say they aren t too fond of working on recreations.
Asked about their opinion on remakes Sachin said: "Well we are not for it... I mean very honestly our thing is that we are creators right? We made a living out of that gift of God and what happens if I stop making music original music; what will happen 10 years down the line who will you copy? So I think maybe we are so attached to those songs in a certain way and every song means something."
From a creator s point of view "it is a total no" he said.
