The legal matter is connected to films including Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, Biwi No. 1, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa, and Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai. The matter also directly concerns the proposed release and exploitation of the film: Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.In a statement on Thursday, Tips stated that they are the ‘lawful owner’ of the music rights, writing, “While formal copies of the order are awaited, Tips 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.”Vashu Bhagnani told ANI, “In 2018, I said, it's been many years since the movie's release, so we want our rights back. We got an email from the company (Tips Company). Suddenly, one day, they said, if you want music, take it from us...You are like a family. My son went to them a couple of times, and they talked about this. In the meantime, we made Coolie No. 1 with David Dhawan and his family and had a lot of deals... They asked if I had the rights for Chunnari Chunnari and other songs. I said, yes. But Rohit and family said they will take time and not make this movie at that time.”He alleged that the song Chunnari Chunnari was later used in Hai Jawani, which hurt him. “One to one and a half years passed. Suddenly, our song Chunnari Chunnari was launched, and it was shot with Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde. Immediately, Jackky called, and Rohit said that he was not involved in this. We talked to Varun, and he assured us that they are neither making Biwi No. 1 nor any of our movies,” he claimed.Biwi No. 1 is a 1999 film directed by David and produced by Vashu. Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Tabu, and Sushmita Sen starred in it.
