Tips Declares 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' Original As Rights Dispute With Puja Entertainment Escalates

Tips asserts ownership of the disputed songs to keep the June 5 release on track.

Overview

  • The makers, in a public notice posted Saturday, said the film has an original story and bears no resemblance to any other movie while inviting audiences to cinemas on June 5.
  • Online chatter after the teaser compared the setup to older comedies like Biwi No. 1 and Sandwich and questioned a recreated version of the 1999 hit song Chunnari Chunnari.
  • Puja Entertainment has sued over alleged unauthorised use of songs and other intellectual property, and a Bihar court granted interim protection as the case proceeds.
  • Tips says it is the lawful owner of the music rights under long‑standing agreements, describes Puja’s claims as malicious and misconceived, and vows to defend its position in court.
  • Varun Dhawan shared the notice, and with David Dhawan directing and Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde co‑starring, the team signals the June 5 release remains the plan even as the litigation could affect clearances and marketing.
