Court grants interim relief to Pooja Entertainment in ‘Chunari Chunari’ rights dispute with Tips Music The ongoing legal dispute between producer Vashu Bhagnani’s Pooja Entertainment and Tips Music has reignited the long-standing debate over ownership of film music rights in the Indian film industry. The controversy erupted after Pooja Entertainment approached the court alleging that Tips recreated the iconic track ‘Chunari Chunari’ for the upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai without obtaining permission. The song originally featured in Biwi No. 1 (1999), produced by Pooja Entertainment. The court has currently granted interim protection in favour of Vashu Bhagnani. While reacting to the matter on social media, Tips Music insisted that they remain to be “lawful owner” of the music rights and termed the allegations made by Pooja Entertainment as “malicious. ” Responding to Tips’ statement, a legal spokesperson representing Vashu Bhagnani said that all music rights, songs, and films referred to in the suit are presently covered under the court’s “status quo” order.

EXCLUSIVE: Rajpal Yadav begins shoot for Salman Khan starrer by Dil Raju-Vamshi Paidipally Salman Khan is fondly called the superstar with the largest heart in the Indian film industry. Over the years, he has always stood by everyone in need, and the industry often reaches out to him in times of grief. A while back, Salman took social media by storm by lending his support to Rajpal Yadav, who is presently fighting a financial crisis in life. He shared, "Rajpal bhai aap 30 yrs se kaam kar rahe ho aur hum sabne aapko repeat kiya hai baar baar kyunki aap apna kaam jante ho aur ek value laate ho, kaam toh aapko bohot milega aur issi dollar rate pe milega aur milte rahega.

Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas starrer Varanasi becomes first Indian film shot In Antarctica; creates history on Ross Ice Shelf SS Rajamouli’s ambitious epic Varanasi starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra Jonas is already making headlines for its scale. The film has now even achieved a historic milestone even before release. The upcoming action-adventure has become the first Indian film to be shot in Antarctica and only the fourth feature film in cinematic history to have sequences actually filmed on the frozen continent. Globally, only three feature films — South of Sanity (2012), The Odyssey (2016), and Virus (1980))— have previously shot scenes in Antarctica. Many films set in the region, such as The Thing and Eight Below, relied on visual effects or alternative locations, with no actual filming taking place on the continent. Meanwhile, Scott of the Antarctic featured pre-production landscape footage captured on location, but its principal photography began elsewhere. Adding to the achievement, Varanasi is reportedly the first film ever to cover the Ross Ice Shelf on screen, marking another cinematic first. The development positions the film among a rare category of global productions that have braved one of the harshest terrains on Earth for authentic storytelling. Directed by S. S. Rajamouli, who co-wrote the film with V. Vijayendra Prasad and S. S. Kanchi, Varanasi is mounted as a large-scale globetrotting adventure rooted in Indian cultural themes.
