Shah Rukh Khan’s son made a sensational directorial debut that blew many away. But veteran actress Farida Jalal, who will be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s O’Romeo, has a little different opinion on the series
Aryan Khan and Netflix’s ‘The Ba***ds Of Bollywood’ created a lot of ripples on social media when it arrived on the streaming giant last September. Shah Rukh Khan’s son made a sensational directorial debut that blew many away. But veteran actress Farida Jalal, who will be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s O’Romeo, has a little different opinion on the series.
As per a statement the actress gave to Times Now, Jalal was quoted saying, “Theek tha, it was okay. He could have done it better, but accha toh tha.” The actress added, “You belong here, where else would you go?”
Netflix and Aryan Khan’s ‘The Ba***ds Of Bollywood’ is silly, self-deprecating, and sensational in its craft and characters. And because it attempts to show the BTS world of Bollywood, reels were bound to go viral on social media. One scene featuring a parody of former NCB officer Sameer Wankhede had gone viral too.
And this angered the officer and as per a report, he moved the Delhi High Court claiming damages worth Rs 2 crore.
What did
Sameer Wankhede say in his plea?
In his plea to the Delhi High Court, Sameer Wankhede said the series “disseminates a misleading and negative portrayal of anti-drug enforcement agencies, thereby eroding public confidence in law enforcement institutions.”
The plea adds that the show “deliberately conceptualised and executed with the intent to malign Sameer Wankhede’s reputation in a colourable and prejudicial manner.”
Wankhede ‘s history
Wankhede made news when he was heading the Narcotics Control Bureau’s Mumbai zone two years back. Around that time, the ex-NCB Zonal Director handled some high-profile incidents
Aryan Khan and the alleged drug case
On the other hand,
Aryan Khan was given a clean chit along with five others among the 14 accused in the alleged drug case. The NCB’s move came in favour of the star kid due to ‘lack of sufficient evidence’. Aryan Khan was arrested on 3 October, 2021 and was released on bail by the Bombay High Court at the end of the month.
