Manoj Bajpayee Film Renamed for Sensitivity
15 Oct
Summary
- Film initially titled 'Ghooskhor Pandat', renamed 'Gajab Raat' due to community concerns.
- New trailer released October 15; film to premiere on Netflix October 23.
- Plot follows a police officer facing moral dilemmas over a single night.
The Manoj Bajpayee-starrer, originally titled 'Ghooskhor Pandat,' has been renamed 'Gajab Raat' after facing backlash for potentially offending the Brahmin community. The filmmakers unveiled the trailer for this suspense thriller on October 15, with the film set to premiere on Netflix on October 23.
The decision to change the title came after Netflix informed the Delhi High Court of the producers' voluntary decision to alter the name due to objections. This led to the court disposing of a petition seeking to halt the film's release.
Directed by Ritesh Shah in his directorial debut, 'Gajab Raat' centers on a police officer's moral struggles over one intense night. The film explores the ramifications of a single decision and the difficult choices characters must confront.
This project also signifies a reunion between Manoj Bajpayee and producer Neeraj Pandey, who previously collaborated nearly a decade ago. The ensemble cast includes Saqib Saleem, Akshay Oberoi, Divya Dutta, Kiku Sharda, and Nushrratt Bharuccha.
