Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has taken legal action against AAP leader Kumar Vishwas of “copyright infringement”. Kumar Vishwas recently used a poem penned by Amitabh Bachchan’s late father, the poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. This did not go well with Big B, who has always been emotionally attached to the work of his father. In a recent video, Kumar Vishwas is seen paying tribute to renowned Hindi poets including Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
