Trimurti Films sues Aditya Dhar’s production house over use of Hum Pyar Karne Wale song in Dhurandhar 2

Trimurti Films alleges the remix used in the hit sequel was copied without permission and is seeking a court order and damages.

  • On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Trimurti Films sued filmmaker Aditya Dhar's production house, B62 Studios, alleging unauthorized use of the song "Tirchi topi wale" in the action-thriller Dhurandhar 2.
  • Trimurti Films claims the production house used the track, originally from the 1989 film Tridev, without obtaining proper licensing or authorization, demanding ownership over the musical work and sound recording.
  • Seeking to halt use of the disputed track, the lawsuit demands a restraining order on all platforms—theatres, streaming services, and promotional material—while requesting compensation for alleged damages.
  • Starring Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar 2 has grossed over $178 million worldwide, making it the 10th highest-grossing film globally in 2026; this legal challenge creates uncertainty for its promotional campaigns and theatrical run.
  • Such disputes are increasingly common in Bollywood as production houses face pressure to secure rights for remixed classic tracks, emphasizing the essential need for filmmakers to ensure strict compliance with licensing norms.
