Jugg Jugg Jeeyo: Pakistani singer Abrar Ul Haq alleges his song was used ‘illegally’ by Karan Johar’s production house

Starring Anil Kapoor, Kiara Advani, Varun Dhawan and Neetu Kapoor, the movie is directed by Raj Mehta.

Jugjugg Jeeyo has been pulling in fans from around the country with its promotional strategy and has been in the news since its official trailer dropped. The movie has now run into some trouble, with Karan Johar’s production being accused of using a song illegally.

Pakistani politician and singer Abrar Ul Haq has claimed that Karan Johar has used his song illegally and that he could take legal action. Taking to Twitter, he said that he has not sold his song titled Nach Punjaban to any Indian movie and that he reserves the right to go to court.

He added that producers like Karan Johar should not be using copied songs and that this is his sixth song that has been copied.

In another tweet shared some time later, he said that Nach Punjaban has not been licensed to anyone and if anyone is claiming it, produce the agreement or he will be taking legal action.

The movie’s makers recently released its official trailer. The song Nach Punjaban can be heard playing in the trailer at one point. The trailer has been received well and already has over 35 million views on YouTube.

The movie is bankrolled by Hiroo Yash Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Johar under the banner of Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Studios. Directed by Raj Mehta, the movie stars Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor in the lead, along with Manish Paul, Prajakta Koli and Tisca Chopra in important roles.

Karan Johar had revealed that the movie is about a family reunion that would entertain the fans, filled with surprises, emotions and a whole lot of drama.
