Karan Johar’s JugJuggjeeo will be screened at Ranchi Court in an alleged copyright infringement matter.
The theatrical release of JugJugg Jeeyo, starring Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani as well as Neetu Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor, is only days away. However, it appears that the film has run into minor legal problems. According to media reports, the makers have been sued by a Ranchi-based writer for copyright infringement. A screening of the film is now scheduled to take place after the local Ranchi court has investigated the matter.
Vishal Sing from Ranchi claims that JugJugg Jeeyo’s story is very similar to his story, ‘Bunny Rani. He also claims that this content was used in the film without giving him credit. Singh sought Rs 1.5 crore in compensation and a stay.
The film’s screening is scheduled to take place before its release. Judge C Jha then will decide if the film violates the copyright Act. Both sides’ arguments will be considered by the court. JugJugg Jeeyo was directed by Raj Mehta and produced by Viacom18 Studios, Hiroo Yaash Johar and Hiroo, Karan Johar, and Apoorva Mehta under Dharma Productions.
The JugJugg Jeeyo cast has been busy promoting the film in the meantime. Varun, Kiara, Neetu, and Anil Kapoor visited New Delhi on Sunday to address a packed audience. Varun and Kiara had been promoting the film at Pune while Neetu, Anil, and Jaipur were giving out JugJugg Jugg Jeeyo vibes.
