Ramesh Taurani & Team Respond to Vashu Bhagnani Allegations, Call It Smear Campaign –

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai x Bhagnani Matter:

Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, producer Ramesh Taurani and the team have finally broken their silence over the allegations made by Vashu Bhagnani. Addressing the issue head-on, the makers have termed the claims as baseless and part of a deliberate attempt to disrupt the film’s release. The situation has now taken a legal turn, with both sides standing firm on their positions. Here’s the official statement released by the team:

Producer Ramesh Taurani, Tips and Team Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai break silence over malignant allegations made by Vashu Bhagnani

“Recently, a series of baseless allegations have been made against us by Mr. Vashu Bhagnani. It is amply clear to us that this is a smear campaign driven by personal vendetta, intended to derail the release of our film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.

Our association with Mr. Bhagnani dates back to 1995, when we generously offered him a 50 percent partnership and a producer credit on a project for which we had laid out all the ground work. Coolie No. 1 went on to become a massive box office hit and gave Mr. Bhagnani a kick-start in the industry. Over the years, we continued to extend our heartfelt support and good wishes to him. It is out of respect for this long-standing relationship that we chose to remain silent until now.

However, Mr. Bhagnani remains determined to spread misinformation via various platforms including social media. Suspiciously, he has also chosen to file a legal complaint in Kathihar court in Bihar – over 2000 kms away from Mumbai. He decided to take legal action against all associated with our film rather than engage in direct dialogue.

We are deeply disheartened and disappointed by Mr. Bhagnani’s conduct. We urge the public to not pay heed to such targeted negativity. We maintain that we are the absolute and lawful owners of the songs Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai.

Since this matter is sub judice, this will be the only statement we shall be making at this time. We have full faith in the legal system of our country and are confident that justice will prevail.

To our beloved audiences, we promise a complete David Dhawan entertainer on the 5th of June, in a cinema near you.
Satyameva Jayate.”

Produced by Tips Industries and directed by David Dhawan, the film stars Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, Pooja Hegde, Mouni Roy, Jimmy Sheirgill, and others. Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is all set to hit cinemas on June 5, 2026.
