Complaint against Nawazuddin Siddiqui & 'Sacred Games' producer.

A complaint has been filed against star
and producer, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, of a
brand new and very popular show
Sacred Games' on Netflix. The complaint
has been filed by local Congress leader
Rajiv Kumar Sinha for allegedly insulting
former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
"We have received a complaint and we
are looking into it, said a police official,
reports DNA India. As per police sources,
the complaint was received at Girish Park
police station on Tuesday. It was filed by
Sinha who is a member of West Bengal
Pradesh Congress Committee. Sinha has
alleged that late PM Rajeev Gandhi has
been abused with Fattu' kind of word in
the show.
"A serial on Netflix called Sacred Games
has a scene in which the protagonist of
the serial played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui
is seen abusing our late Prime Minister
Rajiv Gandhi by calling him fattu' (pussy
as translated in the subtitle of the show
and misrepresenting facts during his
regime. The serial has crossed all limits
of decency and has taken Indian Film
Industry to a new low, reads the
complaint letter. The complaint has also
been forwarded to CP, Joint CP and DC of
Kolkata police.
When Sinha was asked about his
complaint, he said, "I have been
watching the show and found it very
derogatory, specially the dialogue where
it says, Rajiv Gandhi did the same thing.
He dealt with Shah Bano and the country
separately. In 1986, Shah Bano's
husband divorced her through triple
talaq'. She took him to court and won
the case. But our former PM, Rajiv Gandhi
a fattu (pussy) overturned the court's
judgement and threw Shah Bano to the
mullahs. The Hindus criticized him for
this. He had the Ramayan show aired on
TV to please them'. Such language and
distorted facts cannot be accepted. The
entire scene is less than a minute long.
The show was premiered last week and
has managed to grab the attention of
the audience worldwide. The Netflix
series is based on author Vikram
Chandra's novel. It has been directed by
Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya
Motwane. It's a saga of crime and
politics, the parts where Siddiqui plays
the character of Ganesh Gaitonde is
directed by Kashyap and Motwani has
directed those portions where Saif Ali
Khan plays Sartaj Singh a Sikh cop.
