AIB comedian Tanmay Bhat might have not even thought in the wildest of dreams that the video, wherein he face-swapped Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar and made mockery out of the legends, will land him in big trouble. The moment the video went viral, B-town celebrities and political parties slammed Bhat and even demanded strict action against him. While some demanded that an FIR be lodged against Bhat, filmmaker Shirish Kunder even went on to say that Bhat should be hanged till death.
However, Tanmay can breathe a sigh of relief as he has found a supporter in maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who, in a series of tweets, voiced his opinions and they state loud and clear that the filmmaker is in full support of Bhat.
RGV tweeted, "AIB spoof on Lataji is in very bad taste but isn't AIB about that only? How they screw great institutions like Marriage, families, people etc." Another tweet of his read, "Blaming AIB for spoof on Lataji is like blaming a monkey about a monkey for being a monkey. True sense of humour is ability 2 laugh at anyone."
