Singer Shaan revealed an anecdote about legendary performer Kishore Kumar during a recent interview. The veteran artist contacted Shaan's composer father Manas Mukherjee after noticing their lack of collaboration. Mukherjee explained he only had work on a Bhojpuri film project at the time. Kumar agreed to participate despite his standard fee being ₹50,000 per song. He recorded two Bhojpuri tracks for just ₹3000 as a gesture of friendship.
Shaan reflected on artistic recognition and fair compensation for creative work. He acknowledged that artists must value their contributions while remaining flexible about pricing. The singer noted that current performers earn nearly ₹1 crore per song compared to earlier rates. He emphasized that musicians will accept lower payments when circumstances warrant such decisions. Modern technology has transformed how audiences consume music through shortened attention spans and rapid content consumption.
