Chams caused an uproar when he filed charges against stand-up comedian Pranesh Gautam after the latter gave a satirical review of Bir Bikram 2. His critics accused him of bullying and harassing movie critics upon getting negative reviews.[5]
Bir Bikram 2 was widely panned by the critics. It was criticized for its sexist overtones and also accused of plagiarizing scenes from 'Sholay', a hit Bollywood film from the 70's.[6]
