According to Mo Joshi, Sony Music did not pay Sez for high profile licensing/sync deals with Netflix, Redbull, Zee Music, and even many other TV shows. He stated that while Sez was watching TV series Sacred Games’ trailer, he had noticed that the show had used his track named Jungli Sher (also produced by Divine), but they had not paid his share on the song.
