One of the highly anticipated films of 2022, JugJugg Jeeyo found itself in the hot waters when Vishal Singh, a Ranchi-based writer, sued the makers of the film for reportedly copyright violation. The writer even stated that the content of his story named ‘Punny Rani’ was “exploited” in the film without any acknowledgement, thus demanding a stay on release. Apart from seeking an injunction against the release of Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani starrer, Singh has also demanded Rs 1.5 crore as compensation.
Well, now, as per the latest update on JugJugg Jeeyo copyright infringement case, the court has given the green signal to release the film in Ranchi. Furthermore, the Hon’ble Commercial Court, Ranchi has dismissed Vishal Singh’s application against Karan Johar and Dharma Productions seeking an injunction against the release of their much-awaited film JugJugg Jeeyo.
Separately, Dharma Productions & Karan Johar are also in the process of filing a suit for defamation and damages against Vishal Singh.

On the other hand, the Kalank actor and Shershaah actor are busy promoting their upcoming movie. In a recent interview, Varun Dhawan spoke about the box office trends and mentioned that no one knows anything about the business even the trade experts.
Talking about the same, JugJugg Jeeyo star Varun seemed to have a sly dig at the trade analysts and tells Pinkvilla, “I want to say this on camera that ‘Nobody knows sh*t’ about trends and what works and what doesn’t at the box office. Let’s be honest, I don’t think the trade knows anything. I don’t know that even the most successful producers know or directors, there’s nothing. Nobody knows anything.”
Meanwhile, JugJugg Jeeyo stars Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Neetu Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Maniesh Paul and Prajakta Kohli. Helmed by Raj Mehta, the film will hit the big screens on June 24.
