Housefull 5 EXCLUSIVE: Sajid Nadiadwala forced to buy Laal Pari rights from 3 different music labels; spends crores for the song

On May 9, 2025, the Housefull 5 crew encountered a significant problem when the teaser of their film featuring Akshay Kumar was removed from YouTube due to a copyright dispute with Mofusion Music Studio. Now, we have obtained exclusive information that producer Sajid Nadiadwala has been compelled to purchase the rights to Laal Pari song from three different music companies, resulting in him spending millions of rupees.

According to a reliable source, Sajid Nadiadwala initially acquired the rights from Dinesh Productions, followed by Zee Music. However, after receiving a copyright claim from Mofusion Music Studio, he was compelled to purchase the rights from them as well. This filmmaker has found himself in a tricky situation multiple times due to Yo Yo Honey Singh’s practice of promising the same song to several music labels without informing any of them beforehand. This predicament occurred because Honey Singh made promises to different labels about the song without keeping anyone informed.

Previously, we shared that Mofusion Music Studio owned the rights to Laal Pari, but Housefull 5 producers used it unauthorizedly causing disputes. According to our sources, in collaboration with T Series, Sajid Nadiadwala swiftly purchased the song’s rights from Dinesh Productions for more than a hundred million, smitten by Yo Yo Honey Singh’s creation. On discovering that the rights belonged to Dinesh Productions, Sajid Nadiadwala quickly made the purchase at a high cost. On the day of the song’s release, Zee Music claimed ownership over the tune composed by Yo Yo Honey Singh. Although this issue didn’t become public knowledge, it was resolved privately by Sajid Nadiadwala for an undisclosed sum.

It had been proposed that Honey Singh may have previously sold the rights for this song to Zee Music, and it was an error on his part to sell the rights for the same song to multiple production companies. Nevertheless, those involved sought a joint resolution. However, a recent copyright claim from Mofusion Music Studio took producer Sajid Nadiadwala by surprise.

Under the direction of Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 marks the latest addition to one of Bollywood’s most thriving comedy series. This upcoming movie features Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Nargis Fakhri in prominent roles. Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Chitrangda Singh, among others, will also be seen in significant parts. Housefull 5 is set to grace the big screen on June 6, 2025.
