Singer Abrar-ul-Haq has decided to take legal action against Karan Johar and T-series for using his song in the upcoming movie ‘JugJugg Jeeyo’.
Taking to his social media handles, the singer said he had not sold his song to anyone. “Stop stealing our songs,” he tweeted along with a video, in which he can be seen saying that giving someone a line of credit in a YouTube video is not enough to make up for taking their work.

In the video, he continued saying, “A lot of fans have been asking me ‘why haven’t you gone to the court against Karan Johar and T-Series for stealing your song Nach Punjaban. The answer is yes. I’m going to the court, don’t worry.”
He said, “Merely saying that the credit has been given because the song is well-written and would make their movie a hit. I never gave you the song, I never gave anybody the rights to my song. It belongs to me, so I’ll get it back and I’m coming to the court, see you there.”

It all started last month when trailer of ‘JugJugg Jeeyo’ which stars Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor, in the lead was released and it featured Haq’s song ‘Nach Punjaban’. Abrar-ul-Haq recorded his song Nach Punjaban in the 2000s. Haq claimed that the song was used in the movie without his permission.
