    Pakistani singer to take legal actions against Karan Johar, Why? Check the Reason

    The movie Jugjugg Jeeyo is directed by Raj Mehta and is jointly produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Studios.


    Digital Desk: Pakistani singer Abrar Ul Haq has accused Karan Johar of copying his song “Nach Punjaban” in his new film Jugjugg Jeeyo which stars Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani.


    ‘Jugjugg Jiyo’ trailer was launched on May 22. However, a day after its launch, the Pakistani singer took to social media to announce that he had not sold the rights to his song “Nach Punjaban” to any Indian film or production company. He stated that “producers like Karan Johar” should not copy music and threatened to take legal action against the illegal usage of his song. He said that this was the sixth time his song had been copied.


    Sharing this news on Twitter, Abrar Ul Haq 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. @DharmaMovies @karanjohar (sic).”


    Moreover, his next tweet read, “Song “Nach Punjaban” has not been licensed. If someone is claiming it, then produce the agreement. I will be taking legal action. #NachPunjaban (sic).”


    It may be mentioned that, as of now, no one from Dharma Productions has responded to the singer’s claim.


    The film is about the complexities of relationships. The movie Jugjugg Jeeyo is directed by Raj Mehta and is jointly produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Studios.
