The upcoming romantic comedy 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai', starring Varun Dhawan, has become a major headline in the entertainment sector. Following reports suggesting the film may resemble an existing movie, the makers have issued a formal clarification stating that the project is entirely original and does not borrow from any previously released film.
Public Notice Shared by the Team
Tips Industries published a public notice on its official Instagram account. The statement was issued by producer Ramesh Taurani, director David Dhawan, and the film's cast and crew. It read, 'It has come to our attention that there are discussions in the trade and amongst the public regarding our film, ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ (Film).' The notice further stated, 'Tips, Ramesh Taurani Ji, David Dhawan Ji, along with the cast and crew, would like to clarify that the Film is an original story and screenplay and bears no resemblance to any other film.'
The makers also expressed their excitement about the release, saying, 'We have poured our hearts into making this Film and sincerely look forward to welcoming audiences to cinemas on 5th June for a fun-filled family experience. SEE YOU AT THE MOVIES.' The film is scheduled to release on June 5 and promises a light-hearted family entertainer.
Separate Legal Dispute Over Music Rights
The clarification comes amid an unrelated legal dispute between Tips Music Limited and Pooja Entertainment, headed by Vashu Bhagnani. Tips Music Limited stated, 'Tips Music Limited (“Tips”) has become aware of a suit filed by Puja Entertainment (India) Ltd. (“PEIL”) before the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Katihar, Bihar.' The company further clarified, 'While formal copies of the order are awaited, Tips clarifies that it is the lawful owner of the music rights in question, supported by valid and binding agreements between the parties.'
Tips also noted that it has 'openly and legitimately exploited these rights for nearly three decades in full compliance with applicable laws.' Responding strongly to the allegations, the company said the accusations appear to 'be malicious, misconceived, and intended to tarnish the reputation and goodwill of Tips.' It concluded, 'Tips remains fully confident in defending its rights before the appropriate courts and shall take all necessary legal steps to protect its interest and ownership of rights.'
Along with Varun Dhawan, the film also stars Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in lead roles. The TOI Entertainment Desk, a dedicated team of journalists, brings the latest entertainment updates from Bollywood to Hollywood.
