The Manoj Bajpayee-starrer Ghooskhor Pandat, which triggered a controversy because of its alleged caste-based stereotyping, will be renamed, Netflix India informed Delhi High Court on Tuesday. All promotional material related to the movie has also been taken down, the counsel appearing for the OTT platform informed the court. Followed by the submission made by the OTT platform, the court closed the hearing on the petitions, observing that “nothing more was required to be adjudicated”. The court was hearing a petition filed by Mahender Chaturvedi, an acharya by vocation, alleging that the title and promotional material of the movie were defamatory and offensive. He said the “malicious” association of “pandat” with corruption and bribery was an attack on the reputation and dignityof Brahmins.
