Netflix to Rename Manoj Bajpayee Film as Court Disposes Petition

The move follows complaints over a title critics said maligned a Brahmin identifier.

Overview

  • Netflix informed the Delhi High Court that producers had taken a conscious decision to select a new title that better reflects the project’s intent.
  • The High Court closed a writ seeking a stay on release after the petitioner said his grievance was addressed by the decision to retitle.
  • Netflix’s counsel said the project is a fictional, reformative police drama now in editing, and confirmed all promotional material has been taken down.
  • Authorities told the court they were informed of the withdrawal of promos, following days of protests and police cases including an FIR in Uttar Pradesh.
  • FWICE welcomed the change but demanded a special screening for community representatives and warned of a non‑cooperation notice if the release proceeds without it.
