Anuv Jain says his earnings from independent music allow him to be selective about Bollywood film offers.
Anuv Jain, the Delhi‑based singer‑songwriter known for his soulful indie tracks, recently highlighted how his independent music career has provided him with financial stability. In an interview, he explained that revenue from streaming, live performances and direct fan support now forms the bulk of his income.
This financial cushion, Jain said, enables him to evaluate Bollywood offers on his own terms rather than accepting every opportunity that comes his way. He emphasized that he prefers projects that align with his artistic vision, and the monetary freedom lets him turn down proposals that do not meet his standards.
Jain’s comments reflect a growing trend among Indian indie musicians who are leveraging digital platforms to build sustainable careers. By maintaining creative control and earning independently, artists like Jain are reshaping the traditional dynamics between the music industry and the film sector.
