# Himesh Reshammiya Melodies bags music rights of Anil Sharma’s Arjun Naga 2026-08-20T12:09:46+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Himesh Reshammiya's music label, Himesh Reshammiya Melodies, has acquired the music rights of Anil Sharma's upcoming film Arjun Naga. The film is a multi-genre mass entertainer starring Utkarsh Sharma in the lead, with Arjun Rampal playing the antagonist. Himesh Reshammiya has composed the music for the film. This is the third collaboration between Reshammiya and Sharma, after Apne (2007) and Genius (2018). The label has also secured the music rights for Gunmaaster G9, reuniting Reshammiya with actor Emraan Hashmi and director Aditya Datt. Other films in the label's slate include Vikram Phadnis' Pal Bhar Ke Liye and two Marathi films. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Himesh Reshammiya Melodies is aggressively expanding beyond films produced under the composer's own banner, acquiring music rights from major filmmakers. The label now holds rights to three high-profile projects: Sooraj Barjatya's Yeh Prem Mol Liya, Anil Sharma's Arjun Naga, and the Emraan Hashmi starrer Gunmaaster G9. This strategy mirrors a wider industry trend where music labels are betting big on film soundtracks as independent revenue streams, especially after the pandemic boosted digital music consumption. The success of Gunmaaster G9 at the box office could hinge on Emraan Hashmi's recent form: his last film Awarapan 2 opened above Rs 20 crore. Arjun Naga, meanwhile, carries the weight of expectations from director Anil Sharma's Gadar legacy. ## Coverage - bollywoodhungama.com Reports the scoop as a straight news item with a source quote, no evaluative language or framing bias.
