The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Aryan Khan’s much-talked-about directorial debut on Netflix, has landed in controversy after the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) raised objections to a scene featuring actor Ranbir Kapoor.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, the NHRC has issued notices to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Mumbai Police Commissioner, acting on a complaint that alleged the series showed Kapoor using e-cigarettes without health warnings or disclaimers.
Citing concerns over the influence such portrayals could have on young viewers, the NHRC has urged the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to take “appropriate action” to curb similar content on OTT platforms.
Netflix, Kapoor, and the makers have yet to respond publicly.
The Hindustan Times review praised Aryan Khan for offering a “behind-the-scenes look at Bollywood’s underbelly” with a satirical, unserious tone that reflects the industry’s quirky image, reported Hindustan Times.
