Producer Vashu Bhagnani has publicly criticized actor Varun Dhawan for not reaching out to him following the financial failure of their 2020 film, Coolie No. 1, which incurred a loss of ₹27 crore (approximately $3.2 million USD). During a virtual press conference, Bhagnani revealed that he has not heard from Varun in two years, stating, 'If he maintains the relationship, fine. If not, that's fine too.' The producer is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Tips Industries over the unauthorized use of the song Chunari Chunari from his earlier film, Biwi No. 1, in the upcoming project, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Bhagnani expressed his emotional hurt, saying, 'I am broken because after doing so much, they are making me out to be the thief, the fool.' He emphasized the need for ethical practices in the industry, arguing that consent should be sought for the recreation of songs linked to his films. The trailer for the new film was unexpectedly canceled, which Bhagnani believes was due to legal concerns, calling it a 'technical glitch.' He remains open to resolving the matter amicably if approached.
