Controversies In 2018, he faces controversy over his upcoming production "Jugnu." Student Ahmad Baig from the National College of Arts (NCA) alleges that Jami copied the idea from his 2016 film, "Ibbo Ki Eid." Baig claims similarities and posts a side-by-side comparison. Jami refutes the allegations, asserting that research for "Jugnu" began in 2014, predating Baig's work. He emphasizes the personal nature of "Jugnu" and questions the existence of Baig's film online.
