Tandav Controversy: SC To Hear Plea Filed By Actor & Makers Seeking Protection Against The FIRs Filed Today
Amazon Prime Video’s Tandav has been in the news ever since its premiere for the more negative reasons than positive. The cast and crew have faced severe backlash from the audience on social media, and a number of FIRs have also been filed against them. Seeking protection from the same, the cast and team of the series have also filed pleas.
As per reports, close to 7 FIRs were filed against the actors and the makers over allegations of hurting religious sentiments and telecasting objectionable content.
As reported by Hindustan Times, The Supreme Court of India will hear the petitions filed by actor Ayyub, Amazon Prime (India) creative head and the makers of the Tandav today. These petitions were filed to seek protection from arrest in the FIRs registered against them.
Seeking protection till all the FIRs are clubbed, the petitions have added that the apex court should stay all the action against them for the time being.
The petitions that will be heard today have maintained that it would cause severe harassment to those associated with Tandav to face prosecution in various states. The petition also suggests that it would be fair to club all the cases at one place, preferably in Mumbai as it is the ordinary place of residence for the petitioners.
