"I have not sold my song “ Nach Punjaban” to any Indian movie and reserve the rights to go to court to claim damages. Producers like @karanjohar should not use copy songs. This is my 6th song being copied which will not be allowed at all. @DharmaMovies @karanjohar", read his first tweet.

His next tweet read, "Song “Nach Punjaban” has not been licensed to anyone. If someone is claiming it, then produce the agreement. I will be taking legal action. #NachPunjaban". Abrar's song came out in the early 2000s and was a chartbuster across South Asia.

Billo De Ghar, the musician's debut album as a singer, was published in 1995 and sold over 40 million copies worldwide, garnering him the title of "King of Pakistani Pop." Abrar-Ul-Haq is now an active politician in Pakistan and a big benefactor in the neighbouring country.
