While we all love Riz Ahmed’s track Mogambo<\/em><\/strong>, some new information regarding its music video has come to light. We know that Riz cast Pakistani wrestler Rashid Pehlwan in the Mogambo music video and used his image for the album cover. However, it turns out that this was all done without fair compensation to the wrestler.<\/p>\n

Someone on Twitter has come forth alleging that Rashid Pehlwan was not fairly compensated for his services. They also stated that Rashid was made to sign a questionable contract with Riz Ahmed.<\/p>\n

Based on the contract, the wrestler Muhammad Rashid Rasheed was actually approached for the documentary ‘The Picture<\/em>‘. Since the agreement allows the use of Rashid Pehlwan’s audio and visual for anything Bissam Tariq<\/a> and Riz Ahmed want to, they used it in the Mogambo<\/em><\/strong> music video.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Rashid was unaware of how creative ownership, and distribution rights work. A researcher Awais Khalid explained all this to him.<\/p>\n

Before I could answer, Rashid started to tell me about the 'goray' who had done a photoshoot with him at the time of the Dangal but forgot to ask him for his consent to use these images as part of their project.<\/p>\n
