Vashu Bhagnani Confirms The Matter Is Still Not Over: ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' Facing Legal Challenges?

A legal disagreement has emerged between the makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and producer Vashu Bhagnani regarding the use of recreated songs from the 1999 hit Biwi No.1.

Although producer Ramesh Taurani recently claimed that the issue had been resolved, Bhagnani stated that the matter remains unresolved and is still being heard in court.

The upcoming comedy film starring Varun Dhawan is directed by veteran filmmaker David Dhawan. The controversy revolves around the recreated version of the popular track Chunnari Chunnari, originally featured in Biwi No.1.

Did The Makers Of 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' Lie About The Issue Being Resolved?
On Friday, during a press conference, Vashu Bhagnani addressed the media and expressed disappointment over the alleged unauthorized use of visuals and songs connected to his film.

Later, during the trailer launch event of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai in Mumbai, Ramesh Taurani responded to questions about the legal notice and stated, "There is no issue with this. Everything has been resolved."

Vashu Bhagnani's Reaction To Ramesh Taurani's Statement

However, Bhagnani quickly reacted to the statement through a video message, where he strongly denied any settlement.

He claimed that songs from one of his major films had allegedly been "taken" without his permission.

Reiterating his stance, he argued that he had never granted consent for the use of the visuals and emphasized that nobody had the right to use or distribute them.

According to him, the matter is currently sub judice, and any release or circulation of the disputed content could amount to contempt of court.

Bhagnani further claimed that despite the ongoing proceedings, the film's team went ahead with the trailer launch and publicly announced that the issue had been resolved.
He asserted that neither he nor his representatives had been contacted regarding any settlement.

Expressing his frustration, he remarked, "The matter is ongoing in court, yet they are openly lying and releasing content."

The legal dispute reportedly intensified after Bhagnani objected to the recreated version of Chunnari Chunnari. This led the court to issue a suo motu notice.

According to reports, the conflict has temporarily delayed the trailer launch of the Varun Dhawan-starrer.

Bhagnani's Relationship With The Dhawan Family After The Controversy

Bhagnani recently spoke openly about how disappointed he was with the way the Dhawan family reacted to the issue.

He revealed that he had once planned a remake of Biwi No.1 alongside David Dhawan, with David's son Rohit Dhawan developing the script.

However, after the project was eventually completed, Bhagnani said he was deeply upset that songs from the original film later found their way into David Dhawan's latest project.
