Choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan the new host actor Varun Dhawan and his father, a veteran director David Dhawanon his popular YouTube show. The interaction, which started off on a fun and lighthearted note, caught everyone’s attention when Farah dropped a cheeky comment referring to the film producer. Vashu Bhagnani. The remark has taken on a new meaning considering the current circumstances as Vashu Bhagnani and David Dhawan are reportedly embroiled in a legal battle over the royalties of their film ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ which hit the theaters on June 5.
Varun Dhawan’s late entry and Vashu Bhagnani’s antics stole the show
When Varun finally joined the show, after his father David had already settled in, he was carrying gifts. But the gifts were not for the host. Instead, Varun brought in Dilip, Farah’s popular domestic help and a familiar face on her YouTube channel. Upon entering, Varun joked, “This is better than Trump’s house. I got something for Dilip.” Farah immediately noticed that she was left out and asked him, “You didn’t get anything for me? You came late.” Varun replied with a smile, “You don’t ask why I’m late.” Sensing the perfect opportunity for a punchline, Farah said, “Have you gone to meet Vashu ji?” In the game, Varun replied, “That’s what I went to manage.” The exchange quickly turned light-hearted among fans, with a lot of reading between the lines given the popular legal case involving Vashu Bhagnani.

The controversy revolves around Varun Dhawan starrer ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’. Vashu Bhagnani sued Tips Industries and other parties involved, alleging that intellectual property related to some of his biggest hits, particularly ‘Biwi No.1’, had been used without his permission. The recreated version of the song ‘Chunari Chunari’ from ‘Biwi No.1’ is at the heart of this legal battle. Bhagnani said that while Tips Industries owns the audio rights to the original song, the rights to recreate it and use the intellectual property associated with the film could not be exercised without his permission or involvement.

Bhagnani also used a virtual press conference to talk about how her relationship with Varun has come in the way of 2020’s ‘Coolie No. 1’ since the movie. Addressing the media, she did not hold back and spoke candidly about the distance that has grown between them. She said, “Very honestly, after this case, there is a bit of bitterness in every relationship. But Varun hasn’t called me in 2 years anyway. ‘Coolie No. 1′ In 2020, he had a loss of INR 27 million, he never bothered to ask how I was doing. If he keeps in touch, fine. If not, that’s okay too. I lost a lot of money with him. It’s like my kid, kids make mistakes. Father and son, so be it.”
