Bhuvan Bam Claps Back at Troll Accusing Him of Copying Akshay Kumar's Film
8 Sep
Summary
- Bhuvan Bam posted an old skit, accused of copying Akshay Kumar's 2022 film
- Bam defended his originality with a witty clapback on Instagram
- Debate reignites on Bollywood borrowing from digital creators without credit
On September 6th, 2025, popular Indian YouTuber Bhuvan Bam posted an old skit on his social media. A troll quickly commented, claiming the content was copied from Akshay Kumar's 2022 film Cuttputlli. Bam, known for his no-filter style, did not let the accusation slide. In a viral clapback, he retorted, "Chaahtha toh fact check kar sakta tha lekin Riyaz ki g**nd masti toh dekho.."
The exchange has reignited a longstanding debate about Bollywood's tendency to borrow from digital creators without proper credit. Bam's hit YouTube series "BB Ki Vines" has been a cultural touchstone for internet humor in India for nearly a decade, and many argue his influence is so widespread that mainstream films occasionally echo his style or punchlines.
This is not the first time Bam has been at the center of such a controversy. Two years ago, viewers had pointed out that a dialogue in the film Cuttputlli seemed copied from Bam's content. While the matter eventually faded, the latest incident has once again highlighted the ongoing issue of Bollywood's appropriation of digital creators' work.
