Red Chillies hits back at Sameer Wankhede

On Wednesday, Shah Rukh Khan-owned Red Chillies Entertainment opposed in the Delhi High Court the plea by IRS officer Sameer Wankhede in search of an interim injunction on the collection The Ba***ds of Bollywood.

During the listening to, senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul, who was representing Red Chillies, instructed Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav that satire and fiction can co-exist.

“Can satire and fiction co-exist? There is no law that it cannot co-exist. I may be partly inspired by real persons and stories yet there can be disclaimers, no problem with two existing together. Where is the ill-will or malice? This is about a success story in a Bollywood party,” Kaul mentioned on behalf of his shopper.

Kaul added, “We are not looking at people who are sensitive, hurt is not ground for malice. Can you pick a stray instance, a passage here or there? The series is about 20 different issues. We do not show a documentary on the Cordelia cruise incident. I am inspired by overzealous officers. That is far from saying that this is the Cordelia cruise story.”

Back in October 2021, Aryan got here into the highlight when his identify acquired concerned in a excessive-profile medication case after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided a rave social gathering on the Goa-bound Cordelia Empress cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.

“You cannot say that the person depicting ills in Bollywood cannot show overzealous officers. I cannot be responsible for what other people say… I am fully entitled to depict issues ailing Bollywood. Even if I am to project someone, a public official cannot be that thin-skinned,” Kaul mentioned on behalf of Red Chillies.

In his closing arguments, Kaul careworn, “Even if I portray you unjustly it is still not a case. Every scene in this show is exaggerated. I am not ridiculing him or the emblem. I am talking about officials who have lofty idea.”

The Court will hear arguments on behalf of Netflix on Thursday.
