Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai: Tips Reacts To Claims By Puja Entertainment In Legal Dispute |
Mumbai: Label Tips Music Limited on Thursday has replied to the “malicious and misconceived” claims made by filmmaker Vashu Bhagnani’s banner Puja Entertainment in an ongoing legal dispute over music and intellectual property rights.
The statement by Tips Music Limited comes after Bhagnani’s Puja Entertainment knocked on the doors of a Bihar court claiming that its films, songs, and other copyrighted content were reportedly being used and commercially exploited without proper permission by Tips.
The production banner was then reportedly granted an interim protection by the court and asked involved parties to maintain status quo in the matter.
On Thursday, Tips took to the photo-sharing website Instagram, where a statement was shared.
It read: “Tips Music Limited (“Tips”) has become aware of a suit filed by Puja Entertainment (India) Ltd. (“PEIL”) before the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Katihar, Bihar.”
The statement further stated: “While formal copies of the order are awaited, Tips clarifies that it is the lawful owner of the music rights in question, supported by valid and binding agreements between the parties.”
“Tips has openly and legitimately exploited these rights for nearly three decades in full compliance with applicable laws.”
