Following the controversies of Tandav and Sacred Games Season 2, the action crime thriller “Mirzapur” also lands in serious trouble as an FIR has been lodged against the series for hurting religious and social sentiments and defaming the city of Mirzapur located in the Uttar Pradesh district of India.
The FIR has been lodged against the makers of the web series Mirzapur over the controversies on the complaint of a local journalist, Arvind Chaturvedi.
The complaint launched by Chaturvedi alleged that the crime thriller portrayed the Mirzapur community was all-in-all linked with crimes, abusive relationships, and all sorts of discords that hurt the feelings of the locals.
He further claimed that the web series also demeaned the judicial system and portrayed it as “false and polluted”.
The Indian journalist has demanded in the FIR to remove the name of Mirzapur city from the crime thriller.
As it happens, it has been trending in India to hoist contentions in regards to the subject, scenes, and characters depicted in the movies.
Earlier, movies like Padmamavati, Tandav, and Sacred Games have sparked protests in India too and the filmmakers along with the star cast had to face difficulties.
