The Ba***ds of Bollywood vs. Sameer Wankhede Defamation Row

The Allegation: The show, which is a satirical take on the film industry, features a character who is perceived as a thinly-veiled caricature of IRS officer Sameer Wankhede, the former NCB official who handled the drug case involving Aryan Khan in 2021. The character makes a fiery monologue about the "war against drugs" and is seen delivering an obscene gesture after reciting 'Satyamev Jayate.'

The Lawsuit: 

Sameer Wankhede has filed a ₹2 crore defamation lawsuit against Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, and Netflix, seeking to halt the streaming of the show and for damages.

Real and Reel

The Latest Update: 

The Delhi High Court recently questioned Wankhede's plea, specifically asking why the suit was filed in Delhi and not in Mumbai, where the events are centered. Wankhede has been asked to amend his plea.

Viral Reaction: 

The show has gained massive traction, not only for its satirical content but also for the on-screen reunion/cameos of all "Three Khans" (Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan) for the first time.
