The Amazon company which runs an online streaming platform called Amazon Prime Video is in trouble after the release of a web series Tandav featuring Saif Ali Khan, Dimple Kapadia, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Kritika Kamra, Gauahar Khan, Anup Soni, Sandhya Mridul, Dino Morea, and Sunil Grover. It is been said that the political drama has hurt the sentiments of viewers and very badly represented Hindu gods and goddesses. However, the makers have apologised everyone after the complaints to police in Maharashtra and UP alleged some scenes “insulted Hindu gods and goddesses”.
The statement said any offence was unintentional and that the series was “a work of fiction (with) any resemblance to acts and persons and events purely coincidental”.
BJP leader Ram Kadam has tweeted that he doesn’t want their apology and will send all of them in jail. He has even started a campaign #banAmazonproducts and there are several users who have started using the hashtag and made it to the trends.
One of the users wrote: “Tandav pehla nahi hai but aakhri hona chahiye”.
तांडव पहला नहीं है⁉️ पर आखरी होना चाहिए
