Kangana demands jail for makers of Tandev for 'torturing viewers with Hindu phobic content

The controversy on Saif Ali Khan's web series, Tandav refuses to die down, even after the makers issued official apology for certain dialogues. Now, actress Kangana Ranaut has joined the bandwagon opposing the content of the web series. Taking to her Twitter handle, the Tanu Weds Manu star re-shared a video of Kapil Mishra wherein he said that he has sent a legal notice to Amazon Prime Video demanding the immediate removal of 'Tandav' from its platform. While sharing the video, Kangana said that the "makers should be jailed not just for criminal intentions but also for torturing the viewer." She tweeted, “The problem isn’t just the Hindu phobic content, it’s also creatively poor and deprived,atrocious and objectionable on every level hence deliberately placed controversial scenes. Put them in jail not just for criminal intentions but also for torturing the viewer.

An FIR has also been registered against Amazon India original content head Aparna Purohit, director Ali Abbas Zafar, producer Himanshu Krishna Mehra, and others in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, director, Ali Abbas Zafar tweeted an unconditional apology on the entire controversy.  The Information and Broadcasting Ministry had summoned Amazon Prime Video officials in India in connection with the controversy around the web series. Multiple Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have alleged that the Saif Ali Khan-starrer web series hurts Hindu religious sentiments. BJP leader Ram Kadam on Sunday said that he has filed a complaint at Mumbai's Ghatkopar Police Station against the series. On Monday he said he will be going to the offices of Amazon Prime Video and seek an apology as part of 'Joote Maro' movement.
