Singer Abrar-ul-Haq called out Indian filmmaker Karan Johar for copying his song Nach Punjaban in the trailer for his upcoming film Jugjugg Jeeyo.
It is pertinent to mention that Indian filmmakers continue to use Pakistani songs for their projects despite them being banned in the country.

Netizens have criticized Karan Johar for using the song without Abrar-ul-Haq’s permission. They advised the singer to take action against the filmmaker.
You should send them notice enough is enough. As they claim Pakistan is not a good country but they copy our songs, our movies, even scenes from our dramas. If Pakistan is so bad why you copy us? @karanjohar @DharmaMovies

@karanjohar I’m sure if you had taken permission from him, he would have given it to you for free, understand the difference between stealing or ethics. You can still give me credit where it’s due. An artist spends years to make, and you ruin it in 5 mins
