Ghooskhor Pandat
Manoj Bajpayee and the makers of his forthcoming Netflix drama Ghooskhor Pandat received a major relief after the Delhi High Court dismissed the petition seeking a ban on the release of the film. Notably, the decision comes after the producers of the film, including streaming platform Netflix, informed the Delhi High Court that they are going to change the name of the movie.
The decision of the producers was informed before Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, who was dealing with a petition that sought a stay on the release of the film due to its 'offensive' and 'defamatory' title.
