AIB member and Comedian Tanmay Bhatt, who was now involved in a controversy of purported video of Veteran Singer Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar. Tanmay Bhatt has made a video in which the two Bharat Ratna awardees Singer Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar had taken a ‘Civil War’ and were arguing with each other. This has evoked a sharp reaction from MNS.
In the video titled Sachin v/s Lata Civil War, posted on his Facebook page, Tanmay has taken digs on both the celebrities. The words used and dialogues between the legends didn’t go well and were apparently not funny.
Using a Snapchat face swap filter, Tanmay imitated Sachin and threw swears at Virat Kohli and then he took a dig at Lata.
MNS said it will lodge an FIR against him over the portrayal. ‘MNS Chitrapat Sena’ President Ameya Khopkar said, ‘We are going to visit Shivaji Park Police Station and file FIR against Tanmay Bhatt.’ He demanded Tanmay Bhatt to remove the video from Facebook immediately.
Reacting to Tanmay’s video taking a shot at legends Sachin and Lata Mangeshkar, B-Town took to Twitter to slam Tanmay’s act.
Twitter Reactions:
