After receiving severe backlash for insulting Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar in a Snapchat video recently, a song that he had penned for the upcoming film, 'Shorgul', has also been dropped. The political drama stars Jimmy Sheirgill and Ashutosh Rana.

Co-producer Aman Singh confirms the news and says, "'Shorgul' intends to present a humanitarian perspective to communal riots that affect the common man the most, irrespective of his caste, creed or religion. However, in light of recent happenings and the prevailing sentiment amongst people, we decided to let go off Tamnay's song."
