HOUSEFULL 5 EXCLUSIVE: Sajid Nadiadwala faces unexpected hurdles over ‘Laal Pari’ amidst confusion with Yo Yo Honey Singh & T Series

Last Friday, film producer Sajid Nadiadwala encountered an unexpected setback when YouTube removed the teaser for his upcoming comedy film, Housefull 5 starring Akshay Kumar, due to copyright concerns. The takedown was reportedly initiated by Mofusion Music Studio over their claim on the song ‘Laal Pari’. According to Mofusion, they hold the rights to this song, which they allege has been used in the film without permission. However, a source connected to the project asserts that Nadiadwala, in coordination with the music label, had already purchased the rights for ‘Laal Pari’ from Dinesh Productions for an amount over one crore rupees.

In a swift move, Sajid Nadiadwala, Bhushan Kumar, and Akshay Kumar found themselves captivated by Yo Yo Honey Singh‘s creation. Upon discovering that the rights belonged to Dinesh Productions, Sajid quickly acquired them for a substantial amount. On the day of the song’s release, Zee Music asserted their claim on the tune composed by Yo Yo Honey Singh. Although this dispute remained out of the public spotlight, it was resolved privately by Sajid Nadiadwala through a monetary settlement.

Previously reported, it was mentioned that “Years ago, Honey had transferred the ownership of this song to Zee Music, and they asserted the same. This was an oversight on the part of the composer who had inadvertently sold rights to multiple production houses for the same song. However, the parties involved came together to find a resolution. Lately, a new copyright claim from Mofusion Music Studio has left producer Sajid Nadiadwala bewildered, as he was unaware of all the complications. It seems that Yo Yo Honey Singh had also made a commitment to deliver the song to Mofusion Music Studio, which is an unusual turn of events.

According to reports, since T Series, Bhushan Kumar, and his team, together with composer Yo Yo Honey Singh, are currently addressing a dispute with Mofusion Music Studio, it’s anticipated that the issue regarding the rights of Laal Pari will soon be resolved. The source added, “The legal experts at T Series, Nadiadwala Grandson, and Yo Yo Honey Singh are handling this matter, so we can expect a resolution shortly.” Although there’s still some uncertainty surrounding Laal Pari’s rights, fans are optimistic that the song will be included in Housefull 5 once the issue is sorted out.

Housefull 5 is set for a June 6, 2025 release on the big screen.
