In a tweet, Abrar said: "I have not sold my song 'Nach Punjaban' to any Indian movie and reserve the rights to go to court to claim damages. Producers like @karanjohar should not use copy songs."
"This is my 6th song being copied which will not be allowed at all. @DharmaMovies @karanjohar."
In another one he wrote, "Song 'Nach Punjaban' has not been licensed to any one. If someone is claiming it, then produce the agreement. I will be taking legal action #NachPunjaban."
The trailer video begins with Kiara Advani and Varun Dhawan celebrating their wedding, but things take an unexpected turn when they decide to divorce but keep their decision a secret from their families.
Following several delays due to COVID19, the film is set to be released on June 24, 2022. Directed by Raj Mehta, the film also stars Prajakta Kohli and Maniesh Paul.
