Aryan Khan’s much-awaited directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, recently premiered on Netflix. The show made headlines for a number of reasons. However, one scene particularly caught attention and sparked controversy after netizens pointed out that one of the characters bore a striking resemblance to former Narcotics Control Bureau officer Sameer Wankhede. For the unversed, Sameer arrested Aryan in an alleged drug case back in 2021. According to latest reports, Sameer has now taken legal action against the scene by filing a defamation case against both Aryan and Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., which is owned by Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan.

Sameer has allegedly called Aryan`s show `false, malicious, and defamatory.` He further claimed that the series "disseminates a misleading and negative portrayal of anti-drug enforcement agencies, thereby eroding public confidence in law enforcement institutions."
