Film Title Controversy: Producer Withdraws Offensive Title
20 Feb
Summary
- Film producer has withdrawn the title 'Ghooskhor Pandat'.
- The decision followed allegations of anti-Brahmin bias.
- Supreme Court proceedings related to the title have been closed.
The producer of the film 'Ghooskhor Pandat' has officially withdrawn the controversial title following allegations of anti-Brahmin bias. This decision came after the teaser's release on February 3rd sparked significant concern. The producer filed an affidavit with the Supreme Court, assuring that the offensive words from the title would not be used anywhere in connection with the Manoj Bajpayee-starrer.
The film is described as a fictional police drama centering on a criminal investigation. The producer emphasized that the narrative does not portray any caste, religion, community, or sect as corrupt. While a new title is yet to be finalized, an undertaking was given that it would accurately reflect the film's intent without unintended interpretations.
Accepting the producer's affidavit, the Supreme Court bench, comprising Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan, ordered the closure of the legal proceedings related to the film's title. This resolution effectively concludes the controversy surrounding the original title.
