Hyderabad-based filmmaker Nandi Chinni Kumar has dashed off a legal notice to the makers of the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Jhund over alleged copyright infringement. Sairat (2016) director Nagraj Manjule's film is based on the life of Vijay Barse, founder of Slum Soccer, a Nagpur-based organisation dedicated towards the upliftment of underprivileged children through football. In 2017, Kumar had bought the rights to make a film on the life of one of Barse's students, Akhilesh Paul. As Jhund also focusses on Paul's story it violates the copyrights.
