Is David Dhawan’s secret promise and four years of silence responsible for this sorry state?
The reported recreation of the superhit song Chunari Chunari in David Dhawan’s June 5 release, Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde, has opened up a can of worms in the ongoing, yet slightly ambiguous, IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) issue.
Both the audio company (Tips) and the production house (Puja Entertainment) say that they own the rights. Bhagnani says his company, Puja Entertainment, has the IP, film, and digital rights of Chunari Chunari. Tips Industries, which owns the audio rights, has debunked this, staking its own claim.
The original version of the song was composed by Anu Malik for the film Biwi No. 1 (1999). It was rendered by Abhijeet and Anuradha Sriram, and it featured Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen.
The matter is currently in court. The Civil Judge (Senior Division) in Katihar, Bihar, granted interim protection to Puja Entertainment. The court ordered both sides to maintain a “status quo” on the disputed works to prevent irreparable damage to the plaintiff’s proprietary rights while the matter is being fully litigated.
