Biwi No.1 poster
Amid the controversy between filmmaker Vashu Bhagnani of Pooja Films and the makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, producer Jackky Bhagnani has celebrated 27 years of David Dhawan-directed Biwi No.1, which was produced by his father. The ongoing fight between the two is because of alleged music copyrights.
Amid this dispute, Jackky seemingly extended an Olive branch. He took to Instagram and shared the poster of Biwi No.1 starring Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen and Karisma Kapoor.
He wrote in the caption section of Instagram, "Wow. 27 years since Biwi No. 1 hit the screens!"
Jackky took a trip down memory lane and recalled his time as a kid on the sets of film, where he saw his father and David Dhawan created chaos and magic.
"I still remember running around the sets as a kid, watching Dad vashubhagnani and David uncle create absolute chaos and magic, driven by Rumi Jaffery sir's brilliant writing," he wrote.
Jackky then mentioned Salman, Karisma, Sushmita, Anil Kapoor, and Tabu.
He added, "From beingsalmankhan bhaai's unmatched energy to therealkarismakapoor's brilliant performance, sushmitasen47's grace, anilskapoor sir's comic timing, and tabutiful ma'am's elegance - this film is pure gold."
"Thank you to all the fans for showering this one with endless love across generations!," Jackky concluded.
Biwi No.1 follows a simple housewife Pooja, lives with her husband Prem and two children. However, when her husband leaves her for a beautiful model, Rupali, she gets a glamorous makeover to grab his attention.
A lawsuit was filed by Vashu Bhagnani in Katihar, Bihar, which centres on the upcoming Bollywood film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Vashu Bhagnani filed a lawsuit against Tips Industries and associated parties, alleging unauthorized use of intellectual property linked to older hit films like Biwi No.1.
However, on May 27, the makers of the film released a statement claiming that they are the "lawful owners" of the songs Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai, both featured in the film Biwi No.1.
"We urge the public to not pay heed to such targeted negativity. We maintain that we are the absolute and lawful owners of the songs Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai. Since this matter is sub judice, this will be the only statement we shall be making at this time."
