Sunil Bohra to launch online music studio
MUMBAI: Sunil Bohra is in the news these days. After collaborating with Ram Gopal Varma on his recent film Not A Love Story,he had announced that he wou’d distribute the Freida Pinto-starrer Trishna in India.
Now, Bohra is set to launch an online music studio that will reveal to the producers the revenues earned from the music of their film in a transparent manner.
Bohra Bros (BB) Music Studio will enable producers to remain the ultimate music rights owner, which is not being done by the big labels who typically acquire the music rights.
As opposed to a one-time music rights acquisition cost paid by the big music firms currently, the Studio will aim to promote film music albums at initial cost to the producer. And only after the music starts selling will the studio plan to split the revenue with the producer in 70:30 ratio, giving the major share to the producer.
BB Music Studio will be launched with the music of Bohra Bros upcoming film Sahib, Biwi aur Gangster that releases on 30 September.
