As we all know, the entertainment world is full of drama and even though I love drama, sometimes the controversies are too much to handle. And plagiarism accusations have become a common thing in the entertainment industry. Recently, a writer accused Karan Johar of copying his story idea for making Jugjugg Jeeyo starring Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani. This is shocking!
On Sunday, the trailer of the highly-anticipated film Jugjugg Jeeyo dropped and it is produced by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Production featuring Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Neetu Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Maniesh Paul, and Prajakta Koli. And to say that people loved the concept is to state the obvious. However, it has already landed in controversy which is not a good sign at all. A man named Vishal Singh who is a writer by profession claimed that Karan Johar copied his story titled Bunny Rani for making Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani’s film in a series of tweets.

In the tweets, the writer claimed that Dharma Productions has copied his story titled Bunny Rani to make the film Jugjugg Jeeyo after he had mailed the extract of the story to the production house. He mentioned that he had registered the story of Bunny Rani with SWA (Screenwriters Association) India Organisation.
Take a look at the tweet here:
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.— Vishal A. Singh (@Vishal_FilmBuff) May 22, 2022
He also provided a screenshot of the mail to Karan Johar’s production house.
Please read extract of the synopsis of #BunnyRani I had mailed to @DharmaMovies in Feb 2020. And then go on to watch the #JugJuggJeeyo trailer and judge by yourself. 🙏https://t.co/c4oxhOZH80 pic.twitter.com/etonIJ2DyT
