Jackky Bhagnani celebrates 27 years of 'Biwi No. 1' amid Vashu Bhagnani, Tips, David Dhawan dispute
Mumbai, May 28
Amid the controversy between Vashu Bhagnani and the makers of "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai," producer Jackky Bhagnani has celebrated 27 years of David Dhawan-directed "Biwi No.1", which was produced by his father.
A lawsuit was filed by Vashu Bhagnani in Katihar, Bihar, which centres on the upcoming Bollywood film 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai'. Vashu Bhagnani filed a lawsuit against Tips Industries and associated parties, alleging unauthorized use of intellectual property linked to older hit films like 'Biwi No.1'.
However, on May 27, the makers of the film released a statement claiming that they are the "lawful owners" of the songs Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai, both featured in the film "Biwi No.1".
However, Jackky shared the poster of "Biwi No.1" starring Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen and Karisma Kapoor.
He wrote in the caption section of Instagram: "Wow. 27 years since Biwi No. 1 hit the screens!"
Jackky took a trip down memory lane and recalled his time as a kid on the sets of film, where he saw his father and David Dhawan created chaos and magic.
"I still remember running around the sets as a kid, watching Dad @vashubhagnani and David uncle create absolute chaos and magic, driven by Rumi Jaffery sir's brilliant writing," he wrote.
Jackky then mentioned about Salman, Karisma, Sushmita, Anil Kapoor and Tabu.
He added: "From @beingsalmankhan bhaai's unmatched energy to @therealkarismakapoor's brilliant performance, @sushmitasen47's grace, @anilskapoor sir's comic timing, and @tabutiful ma'am's elegance - this film is pure gold."
"Thank you to all the fans for showering this one with endless love across generations! #27YearsOfBiwiNo1 #IconicMovie #PujaFilms #Bollywood," Jackky concluded.
"Biwi No.1 " follows a simple housewife Pooja, lives with her husband Prem and two children. However, when her husband leaves her for a beautiful model, Rupali, she gets a glamorous makeover to grab his attention.

Biwi No.1 was a classic! Salman bhai, Karisma, Sushmita - pure entertainment. But this dispute shows how messy Bollywood business can get. Jackky should stay neutral and focus on his own work.
27 years? Time flies! I watched this film in theater with family. Jackky's memories are sweet, but the legal notice from Bihar is serious. Hope both parties resolve this amicably - we don't want another long Bollywood court case. 🙏
Controversy or not, Biwi No.1 remains a guilty pleasure for so many of us! But honestly, the way this dispute is being handled - filing case in Katihar, Bihar of all places - feels like unnecessary drama. Just sort it out professionally yaar.
Jackky celebrating 27 years while his dad is in a legal battle feels a bit tone-deaf. Maybe a classier move would have been to wait until the dust settles. Still, love the film and the memories it gave us. Bollywood needs less rivalry, more collaboration.
How can there be a dispute over Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai? Those songs are iconic! But this reminds me how Bollywood music rights are often a minefield. Jackky's nostalgia is sweet but the real story is the legal mess his father has created.
