T-Series dethroned by MrBeast as world’s most-subscribed YouTube channel

<p>A day after Pakistan musician Abrar Ul Haq accussed Karan Johar's Dharma Productions of copying his song in their upcoming film 'Jugjugg Jeeyo', music label T-Series has responded and stated that the track was 'legally acquired.'<br />
Haq alleged his song 'Nach Punjaban' was taken with permission by KJo's production house for their new film which stars Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Neetu Kapoor and Kiara Advani.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Soon after the trailer launch on Sunday, the musician took to Twitter and wrote that he did not sell his song to any Indian movie producers for use.<br />
<br />
Haq threatened legal action against Dharma Productions over what he claimed was a copyright violation. "I have not sold my song 'Nach Punjaban' to any Indian movie and reserve the rights to go to court to claim damages.&nbsp;<br />
Producers like @karanjohar should not use copy songs. This is my 6th song being copied which will not be allowed at all. @DharmaMovies @karanjohar," he had tweeted.</p>
