Varun Dhawan's Film Faces Legal Challenges Ahead of Release

Controversies Surrounding Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai

Varun Dhawan's upcoming movie Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, set to premiere on June 5, is already embroiled in controversy. Producer Vashu Bhagnani has initiated legal action against the filmmakers, alleging copyright violations concerning two songs. The tracks in question, Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai, are remakes from the film Biwi No. 1, which starred Salman Khan. In response to these allegations, Tips Music Limited has issued a statement asserting their ownership of the songs and has condemned Bhagnani's claims.

Response from the Film's Team

Team HJTIHH Breaks Silence

In light of Vashu Bhagnani's accusations, the film's producer Ramesh Taurani, along with Tips Music Limited and the Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai team, released a statement declaring their 'absolute and lawful ownership' of the music. They characterized Bhagnani's claims as unfounded and suggested that his actions are part of a smear campaign aimed at disrupting the film's release. They stated, "This is intended to derail the release of our film."

Breaking their silence, the team criticized Bhagnani for disseminating misinformation on social media. Following Bhagnani's legal complaint filed in Katihar, Bihar, regarding the ownership of the albums, the team questioned his intentions, emphasizing that he chose legal action over direct communication, which could have resolved the issues amicably.

Confident in the judicial system, the team has opted to refrain from further comments for the time being. They concluded their statement with a promise of an entertaining film from David Dhawan on June 5, signing off with the phrase “Satyamev Jayate,” indicating their belief in their rightful position.
