MUMBAI: British author Jeffrey Archer, who is promoting his ‘Mightier than the Sword’ of the Clifton Chronicles series in India, calls Bollywood a `bunch of thieves.”

When asked about the adaptability of his novels for racy Hollywood films, the author told DNA, “Well, forget Hollywood, just look at your Bollywood! These bunch of thieves have stolen several of my books without so much as a ‘by your leave’. Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl (‘Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less’) and Khudgarz (‘Kane and Able’) and several others.”
