Within barely an hour of the release of JugJugg Jeeyo trailer, the film sparked a controversy. Vishal A Singh, a chartered accountant associated with several producers and also the creative executive producer of Sanjay Gupta’s Jazbaa (2015), starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, tweeted last afternoon that the upcoming family entertainer is based on his story. “I had registered a story Bunny Rani with the Screen Writers Association in January 2020. I had officially mailed to Dharma Productions in February 2020 for an opportunity to co-produce with them. I even got a reply from them. And they have taken my story and made JugJugg Jeeyo. Not fair, Karan Johar,” Vishal wrote. Sharing a screenshot of his mail to KJo’s production house, he added, “Screenshot of my mail to Dharma Productions dated February 17, 2020.
Had registered a story.. #BunnyRani with @swaindiaorg in January 2020. I had officially mailed @DharmaMovies in February 2020 for an opportunity to co-produce with them. I even got a reply from them.
And they have taken my story.. and made #JugJuggJeeyo. Not fair @karanjohar.
