Amitabh Bachchan sends legal notice to AAP leader Kumar Vishvas. Here’s why…

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is planning to take a legal action against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishvas, and has even sent a notice to him. The reason behind this step is that recently Kumar Vishvas has shared a rendition of a poem by late noted poet, and Amitabh Bachchan’s father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan in his own style. Amitabh Bachchan, as many would be aware is extremely active on Twitter and his other social media accounts. The star got to know about this through one of his fan clubs who tagged him on Twitter asking him to check out the video where Vishvas is seen reciting the poem. Replying to this post, Big B wrote on Twitter, “this is a copyright infringement .. ! legal will take care of this.” [sic]

In his statement, Kumar Vishvas has said that he has received the notice, which called for the removal of the video and asked him to account for the revenue generated through it. (Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan spills the beans on his chock-a-block work schedule until 2019)

Kumar Vishvas has also taken to his Twitter handle writing, “Rcvd appreciation frm all poet’s family but Notice frm you Sir.Deleting the Tribute video to Babuji.Sending earned Rs 32 as demanded.Pranam�.” [sic]

Have a look at these tweets of Amitabh Bachchan and Kumar Vishvas:

An associate of Vishvas has said Rs 32 was the revenue generated from advertisements on YouTube. Vishvas has added saying that he had received an appreciation from the families of other poets whose works too had figured in the tribute series.
