Anubhav Sinha`s recent directorial `IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack` has landed in controversy over the onscreen names of hijackers. A section of netizens have accused that the hijackers of the `IC 814` were `given` Hindu nicknames on the show. Hijackers on board the plane from Kathmandu to Delhi were using nicknames to hide their real identity. But did the makers intentionally change the names of the hijackers and spread a false narrative? Here`s the truth behind the nicknames of the hijackers. 

As per the makers of `IC814: The Kandahar Hijack`, the "six-episode series thrusts you into the nerve-wracking reality faced by passengers and crew trapped at 30,000 feet. With every moment steeped in tension, the series follows a relentless team in India racing against time, deciphering the hijackers` ominous demands, and fighting against the odds to ensure the safe return of everyone on board." However, Sinha has ruffled some feathers by naming two of the terrorists in the series as ‘Bhola’ and ‘Shankar’.
