Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film, Queen 2, seemingly found itself in trouble after Phantom Studios sued JioStar for Rs 250 crore. Phantom Studios, which produced the 2014 film, Queen, recently alleged that JioStars, the production banner backing Queen 2, has used their IP without authorisation. A day after the news broke out, JioStar has now released a statement dissociating the upcoming film from the decade-old film of the same name.

JioStar clarifies the use of Queen 2

In a recently released statement, JioStar stated, “StarStudio18 is presently working with Ms Kangana Ranaut on a fresh production that is an original, independent story. It has no narrative, character or creative connection to any prior work, and is neither a sequel nor a prequel to any existing title."
