The teaser of 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai', starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde, received an overwhelming response on social media, generating significant buzz around the film. Encouraged by the positive reception, the makers planned a grand trailer launch event for Thursday. However, the event did not go as planned and was suddenly called off, even after fans and media had already gathered at the venue.
Trailer Launch Called Off Due to 'Technical Glitch'
According to a report in the Indian Express, the cancellation left everyone present shocked. The red carpet had already been rolled out, and fans were lined up outside PVR ICON in Andheri, eagerly waiting for the event to begin. Producer Ramesh Taurani arrived at the venue and broke the news to those assembled, explaining that the trailer could not be shown due to a 'technical glitch.' He assured the media and fans that they would be invited back for a special screening within the next two to three days. The sudden turn of events left both fans and media personnel visibly disappointed as they departed from the venue.
Legal Dispute Over 'Chunari Chunari'
The troubles for 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' began a few days before the trailer launch. The film reportedly became entangled in a legal dispute with Pooja Entertainment over the use of a remixed version of 'Chunari Chunari' from the film 'Biwi No.1'. As the issue gained attention, music and film production company Tips Industries released a public notice stating: '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. While formal copies of the order are awaited, the music company clarifies that it is the lawful owner of the music rights in question, supported by valid and binding agreements between the parties. Tips has openly and legitimately exploited these rights for nearly three decades in full compliance with applicable laws. The claims made by PEIL are strongly disputed and appear to be malicious, misconceived, and intended to tarnish the reputation and goodwill of the music company. It 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.'
Release Date and Other Details
Helmed by David Dhawan and bankrolled by Ramesh Taurani, 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' is set to hit theatres on June 5. The film promises to be a vibrant entertainer, and despite the recent hurdles, anticipation remains high among fans.
