Farah Khan and Varun Dhawan recently took a jibe at producer Vashu Bhagnani amid the ongoing legal standoff over the songs of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The filmmaker joked about Varun visiting Bhagnani after he arrived late. The choreographer and director recently invited Varun Dhawan and his father, David Dhawan, to her house amid the release of their latest film, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.

Varun Dhawan, Farah Khan Take A Jibe At Vashu Bhagnani

During their interaction, Farah and Varun seemingly took a subtle dig at producer Vashu Bhagnani. Notably, the remark comes at a time when Vashu Bhagnani and Varun’s father are engaged in a legal stand-off over the issue of music royalty. When Varun arrived a little later than his father at Farah’s house, the actor decided to make up for the delay by bringing gifts for Farah’s house help and YouTube star Dilip.

As the actor entered Farah’s house, he could be seen saying, “This is better than Trump’s house. I got something for Dilip.” Farah questioned, “You didn’t get anything for me? You came late”. Varun replied to this saying, “You are not asking why I am late”.

Farah grabbed the opportunity to throw a punchline, as he said, “Did you go to meet Vashu ji?” Varun playfully replied, “That’s what I went to handle”.

About the Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Legal Row

For the unversed, the lawsuit filed by Vashu Bhagnani revolves around the Bollywood film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan. The veteran producer filed a lawsuit against Ramesh Taurani’s Tips Industries and associated parties, alleging unauthorised use of intellectual property linked to older hit songs from the film Biwi No.1. The producer had earlier, during a virtual press conference, made a targeted comment on David Dhawan’s son, Varun. He said that the actor never checked on him after their 2020 collaboration Coolie No. 1 sank.

Talking about the same, Vashu had earlier told the media, “Very honestly, after this case, there is some bitterness in all relationships. But Varun hasn’t called me in 2 years anyway. We made ‘Coolie No. 1′ in 2020, suffered a loss of INR 27 crore, but he never even bothered to ask how I was doing. If he maintains the relationship, fine. If not, that’s fine too. I lost a lot of money being with him. He is like my child; children make mistakes. Father and son, so be it.”

The lawsuit stemmed from the recreated use of the iconic song Chunari Chunari from Biwi No.1 in the latest film. Vashu Bhagnani alleged that although Tips owned audio rights, the film-linked intellectual property and recreation permissions still needed consent or involvement from him.
