 "Decoding the case against 'Thamma' and 'Stree 2' composer Sachin of Sachin-Jigar duo amid his arrest on sexual harassment charges")
Sachin Sanghvi of Sachin-Jigar duo was arrested on the charges of sexual assault on Friday. The arrest came at a time when he was at the zenith of his career with the success of films like Stree 2 and more recently Thamma, which released on the occasion of Diwali.
What the Santacruz Police said about Sachin’s arrest
The Santacruz Police said in its statement that the music composer promised the complainant in question (a 29-year old girl) opportunities in films and marriage as well. This was reported by The Indian Express.
Allegations by the victim
The girl in question alleged that Sachin was in a physical relationship with her and forced her to go for abortion when he learned about her pregnancy. Sanghvi was released on bail later on.
Music composer’s lawyer’s statement
Aditya Mithe’s statement read- “The allegations in the FIR against my client are absolutely baseless and unsubstantiated. There are absolutely no merits to the case. My client’s detention by the police was illegal and that is the reason why he was released on bail immediately. We intended to defend all allegations fully and unequivocally.”
Sachin and Jigar on making progress in the industry
Sachin said in an interview, “We’ve had our unsuccessful attempts too. For example, Roohi struggled because of COVID. We’re always blending genres. We can’t deliver 100 per cent horror; that would only attract a niche audience. Our songs need a mix of comedy and romance to appeal to families.”
He added, " Without the horror elements, only the masala works. The script helps us determine the right flavour for each song. A track like Kamariya wouldn’t fit in Munjya. Jigar and I don’t stockpile songs; we curate and customise them for the characters and the movie’s premise."
Sachin also revealed, “It’s easier to discuss songs like Babaji ki booti or party tracks, even though we don’t party. We also write breakup songs, but we’re not looking to break up with our wives. As artistes, we adapt to whatever genre we’re given. If it’s a comedy film, we challenge ourselves to find a fresh approach.”
