Amitabh Bachchan sends legal notice to AAP leader Kumar Vishwas over use of his father's poem

Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan has sent a legal notice to AAP leader Kumar Vishwas for copyright infringement of his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poem 'Nirman.'

The legal notice stated that Sir Bachchan was shocked when he came across Kumar Vishwas's rendition 'Nirman' without any authorisation and decided to take this measure.

Bachchan's lawyers have filed a copyright infringement suit against him claiming that the AAP leader's recitation might lead the public into thinking it was his poem.

Bachchan also asked Kumar Vishwas to immediately delete the poem. Kumar Vishwas, in response tweeted saying that the video was a tribute and that he received appreciation from all quarters for the video. He also said he is sending Rs 32, which he earned from the YouTube video, to Amitabh Bachchan.
