Complaint Filed Against Nawazuddin Siddiqui & Sacred Games¡¯ Makers For Abusing Rajiv Gandhi
A member of Indian National Congress from West Bengal Rajeev Sinha has lodged a complaint against Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Netflix for &ldquoabusing&rdquo former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in the show. In the letter the complainant has urged to lodge an FIR against the aforementioned entities Netflix India has reportedly refused to comment on the situation.
Netflix¡¯s first original series from India Sacred Games that stars Saif Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte in lead roles, is currently the talk of the town. Ever since the show's release on Netflix, which is based on Vikram Chandra's novel of same name, audiences are going gaga over it. Not only in India but it¡¯s creating a buzz all over the world. The gripping storyline and some heavy-loaded dialogues have left everyone impressed. So much so, that people have binged watched the entire series already.
Days after its release, Sacred Games has, however, landed itself in trouble. The series directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap has all the elements in it ¨C violence, profanity, politics as well as religion. And now, a member of Indian National Congress from West Bengal, Rajeev Sinha, has lodged a complaint against Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Netflix for ¡°abusing¡± former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in the show.
In his complaint, Rajeev Sinha says that a dialogue mouthed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Ganesh Gaitonde ¡°abused our late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi calling him fattu, which translated as pu*** in the subtitle". Furthermore, he also accused the makers of ¡°misrepresenting facts during his regime.¡±
In the fourth episode of the show, Gaitonde accuses Mr Gandhi of playing politics in Shah Bano¡¯s triple talaq case. Here¡¯s the dialogue, ¡°... Shah Bano ko alag jalaya, desh ko alag. She took her husband to court and won. But the prime minister told her to shut up and overturned the court's judgement. Even Hindus criticised him. To please them, Ramayan, the TV show, aired every Sunday morning when the entire country glued to their televisions. ...the serial also crosses all limits of decency.¡±
