Manoj Bajpayee in Ghooskhor Pandat
Amid the ongoing controversy around Manoj Bajpayee's upcoming film Ghooskhor Pandat, the Supreme Court, on Thursday, ordered the makers of the Netflix film to change its title. The court observed that it was denigrative of a particular community and hence could not be permitted under the Constitution.
A bench led by Justice BV Nagarathna issued notice to the respondent filmmakers asking them to suggest an alternative title. The Court also directed the makers to file an affidavit indicating the proposed new name while also detailing any other changes made in compliance with its order. The matter has now been listed for further hearing on February 19.
