Sameer Wankhede moves Delhi High Court against Netflix show for ‘mocking him"},"content":{"rendered":"

Indian Revenue Service officer Sameer Wankhede<\/a> has approached the Delhi High Court, seeking a permanent injunction against Netflix\u2019s recently released show The Ba***ds of Bollywood, directed by Aryan Khan.<\/p>\n

The allegation<\/p>\n

In his petition, Wankhede claims that one particular scene in the eight-episode series \u201cmocks\u201d him. While the exact scene was not specified in court, many viewers pointed out that a character introduced in the opening episode bears an uncanny resemblance to the former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer.<\/p>\n

The sequence features a loud officer dressed in a white shirt and dark trousers, ranting about the \u201cwar on drugs\u201d while storming into a Bollywood party. His mannerisms, haircut, and appearance are said to closely mirror Wankhede \u2014 who was notably involved in the high-profile 2021 drug case that saw Aryan Khan\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

Other legal troubles for the show<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Ba***ds of Bollywood has come under scrutiny. A scene featuring actor Ranbir Kapoor in the finale triggered a complaint over the use of e-cigarettes without statutory warnings. Following a petition by the Legal Rights Observatory, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) wrote to the Mumbai Police Commissioner, urging legal action against Kapoor, the production company, and Netflix under the Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act, 2019.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

The Delhi High Court has acknowledged Wankhede\u2019s plea. Whether the show\u2019s depiction was purely fictional or a direct mockery of the ex-NCB officer will now be determined in court.<\/p>\n
