About Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai

Varun-starrer Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is currently facing legal trouble after producer Vashu Bhagnani filed a ₹400 crore lawsuit in the Bombay High Court against Tips Industries, filmmaker David Dhawan, and others. He accused the makers of unauthorized use of two songs, "Chunnari Chunnari" and "Ishq Sona Hai," from the 1999 Bhagnani-produced film Biwi No. 1, which was also directed by David Dhawan.

Despite the ongoing legal rights dispute, the makers recently unveiled the film’s trailer, in which both songs feature in the background. The team also released the video track of "Chunnari Chunnari" from the film.

Apart from Varun, the film stars Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in lead roles. Maniesh Paul, Chunky Panday, Jimmy Shergill and Mouni Roy are seen in supporting roles.

The film will also mark David Dhawan’s final directorial venture and is set to hit theatres on June 5.
