Kunal Kamra's Controversial Comedy Sparks Copyright Clash with T-Series

Comedian Kunal Kamra faces a copyright controversy with T-Series over his stand-up special 'Naya Bharat'. The show, which includes a parody song targeting political figures, was flagged on YouTube. Despite claims of fair use, T-Series blocked the content. Kamra remains unyielding and urges viewers to support creative freedom.

Comedian Kunal Kamra is under fire from Bollywood studio T-Series, which accused him of copyright violations for his stand-up special 'Naya Bharat'. The YouTube controversy erupted after Kamra's parody aimed at Maharashtra's politicians triggered legal pushback.

T-Series cited lack of authorization for blocking Kamra's video, denying it revenue generation opportunities. Kamra, however, argues for creative liberty, citing legal fair use under parody and satire protection.

Defying the threats, Kamra's performance addressing political splits gained over 6.7 million views. After vandalism by Shiv Sena members, Kamra insists he won't apologize, calling for public support of artistic expression.
