Abhay Deol took up the cause of the musicians of his upcoming film, One By Two, during the recent controversy over royalty payment issues.
The actor sported a black eye and even shot a protest video with artistes from the music industry.
And it looks like this protest has caught the fancy of officials from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)!
SOMNATH BHARTI'S ACTIONS WERE DICTATORIAL, SAYS ABHAY DEOL
