Buzz is that all is not well between Karnesh Ssharma’s Clean Slate Filmz and Netflix. The production house, founded by Anushka Sharma and brother Karnesh had delivered acclaimed films and web series like Bulbul, Qala, Mai: A Mother’s Rage and Kohrra on the streaming giant. However, Anushka’s Chakda Xpress, based on celebrated Indian women’s cricket icon, Jhulan Goswami, and Triptii Dimri and Vijay Varma-starrer Afghani Snow, were missing from the OTT platform’s slate for 2024. Reports are rife that Karnesh, who was solely entrusted the reins of the production house by Anushka, and the streaming giant have fallen out due to creative differences and budgetary problems. While the Netflix link leading to the placeholder card for Anushka’s Jhulan biopic is reportedly not working any more, and the post-production of Afghaani Snow has abruptly been halted. It is being said that Karnesh will have to repurchase these two projects from the OTT giant to release them on another platform.
