Mumbai, May 23: Director-Producer Karan Johar created much hype for Jug Jugg Jeeyo, and as the trailer for the much-awaited film was launched, it received a great response from the audience.
However, after the launch event, a social media user called out makers for using his story which he had pitched to Dharma production in 2020. On the other hand, a Pakistani singer too accused makers of using his song without his permission.
Accusing makers of plagiarism, Singh said, “Had registered a story.. #BunnyRani with @swaindiaorg in January 2020. I had officially mailed @DharmaMovies in February 2020 for an opportunity to co-produce with them. I even got a reply from them. And they have taken my story.. and made #JugJuggJeeyo. Not fair @karanjohar.”
Also, Pakistani singer Abrar Ul Haq also threatened to take legal action against makers for using his song in the trailer. He wrote, “I have not sold my song “Nach Punjaban” to any Indian movie and reserve the rights to go to court to claim damages. Producers like @karanjohar should not use copy songs. This is my 6th song being copied which will not be allowed at all.”
The movie which is directed by Raj Mehta, features Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor alongside Manish Paul, Prajakta Koli & Tisca Chopra. The movie is scheduled to release on June 24, 2022.
