Kesari 2 Plagiarism Row: Yahya Bootwala And Dharma Productions 'Amicably Solve' Differences, YouTuber Announces Truce

Kesari Chapter 2 writer Sumit Saxena landed in hot waters when YouTuber Yahya Bootwala accused him of ‘copying' his poem on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre for a dialogue in the movie. The poet took to his Instagram account to share proof that the monologue delivered by Ananya Panday in the courtroom drama is a direct liftoff from his 2020 poem. A day later, the spoken word artist again shared a post stating that his earlier video was taken down, and the makers are yet to give him credit for using his lines. The parties, however, seem to have reached a truce. On April 28, Yahya Bootwala, without divulging many details, shared that the issue has been settled with the Kesari 2 producers.
