  "account": "Kumar Taurani, Chairman and Managing Director of Tips Music, has criticised producer Vashu Bhagnani for filing a lawsuit over alleged unauthorized use of songs in a Bihar court. Taurani questioned why the case was filed in a distant Bihar court instead of Mumbai, as per their previously agreed jurisdiction. The dispute involves songs from Bhagnani's 1999 film, Biwi No. 1, and songs from his 1999 film, Biwi No. 1. Taurani maintains that they bought the music rights for these songs from Bhagnani for David Dhawan's 2020 remake, which aired on Prime Video India. Despite their long-standing relationship, tensions have emerged due to Bhagnani's legal action.",
