<p>Mumbai-based stand-up comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB) has a habit of landing in controversies. The outfit introduced celebrity 'roasting' in India with Arjun Kapoor, Ranveer Singh last year to a disastrous effect</p>
<p>Well, now, one of it's founding members -- Tanmay Bhat -- has landed in a soup for his latest video that 'roasts' Indian icons Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar.</p>
<p>Tanmay seems to have more than ruffled a few feathers with his video and has faced a barrage of criticism for his video.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/may/sachin-tanmay.jpg" alt="Tanmay Bhatt mocks Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar" /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>A screen grab of the 'offending' video</strong></em></span></p>
<p>The video sees the comedian superimposing the faces of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and musical legend Lata Mangeshkar&nbsp;using Snapchat's unique face-swap feature. The 'face-swapped&rsquo; Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar are seen arguing oveer whether Virat Kohli is better than the Master Blaster.</p>
<p>Tanmay mimics both jibes the 86-year-old melody queen and the 43-year-old cricketing&nbsp;legend and also throws Vinod Kambli into the mix for good measure.</p>
<p>He wrote on FB, "Sachin vs Lata Civil War (I make such nonsense on my Snapchat...)" He though added the disclaimer that he loved both the icons. "Also, I obvously love Lata and Sachin, just having some fun," he posted on the social media platform. But to no avail.</p>
<p>The video shows the comedian 'roasting' the duo with digs like "You are 5000 years old so shut up" and "Jon Snow also died, so should you also die".&nbsp;</p>
<p>Most fans of the legends and some Bollywood celebs couldn't take this 'comedy' and lost their cool and lashed out at the comedian for the "disrespectful" comments.</p>
<p>Here are some of the reactions to the video on the <span>Bharat Ratna awardees:</span></p>
