Controversy seems to be worsening for Amazon Prime Video's new web series 'Tandav', after the show came under fire for allegedly depicting Hindu gods in a negative light.
An FIR has been registered in Lucknow against Tandav director Ali Abbas Zafar, producer Himanshu Krishna Mehra and series writer Gaurav Solanki for allegedly insulting Hindu Gods and Goddesses. Aparna Purohit, who heads original content for Amazon India has also been named in the FIR along with others.
BJP MP Manoj Kotak wrote to I&B minister Prakash Javadekar seeking a ban on the series for ridiculing Hindu deities. Reports quoting I&B Ministry sources say the govt took serious notice of complaints against the show. Reports say, a proper response to all the allegations has been sought from Amazon Prime, failing which action would be taken against it.
