MNS Chitrapat Sena president Ameya Khopkar today told reporters that they will beat Bhatt “whenever they see him”. “Whenever we will see Tanmay, we will beat him. We will not let him do any shows,” the MNS leader said.
“Some things should be beyond politics. Our agenda is clear. Those who have made videos on Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar should be arrested,” he demanded.
Bhatt, a popular comedian with the AIB, had posted the video titled ‘Sachin vs Lata Civil War’ on May 26 on Facebook. Actors Anupam Kher, Riteish Deshmukh and Celina Jaitly have criticised Bhat for roasting Tendulkar and Mangeshkar, calling the video “not funny”.
