Neeraj Pandey Issues Clarification Amid Ghooskhor Pandat Controversy

Mumbai, February 6 - Filmmaker Neeraj Pandey has released a statement addressing the ongoing controversy surrounding his upcoming project Ghooskhor Pandat, starring Manoj Bajpayee. The director clarified that the film is a fictional cop drama, and the term Pandat has been used purely as a colloquial name for a fictional character, without any intention to comment on or represent any caste, religion, or community. In his statement, Pandey emphasised that the narrative focuses solely on an individual's actions and choices. He reiterated that, as a filmmaker, he approaches storytelling with a strong sense of responsibility and aims to create content that is both thoughtful and respectful, adding that the film has been made with sincere intent purely to entertain audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) pic.twitter.com/ddGScOTqSc— Neeraj Pandey (@neerajpofficial) February 6, 2026 Acknowledging that the film's title has caused hurt to certain sections of viewers, Pandey said the team genuinely understands and respects these sentiments. In response to the concerns raised, the makers have decided to temporarily take down all promotional materials, stating that the film should be experienced in its entirety and understood in the proper narrative context rather than being judged through partial glimpses. The controversy around Ghooskhor Pandat erupted soon after the film's title and promotional material surfaced online. A section of social media users and community groups objected to the use of the word Pandat in the title, alleging that it could be interpreted as a derogatory reference to a particular caste or community. They claimed that associating the term with corruption ("Ghooskhor") reinforces negative stereotypes. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, February 5 - The much-awaited sequel Bhagam Bhag 2 is moving forward with a major cast shake-up as Manoj Bajpayee is reportedly stepping into a key role originally associated with Govinda. The development marks an interesting casting choice, bringing together Bajpayee with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal for the comedy sequel. According to the report by Variety India, the makers have locked Manoj Bajpayee as part of the principal cast, replacing Govinda, who was one of the main characters in the original film. While Govinda's involvement never materialised, Bajpayee's inclusion is expected to add a fresh comic dynamic to the franchise.

Netflix's Ghooskhor Pandat Starring Manoj Bajpayee Lands in Legal Trouble: Here Is Why

Mumbai, February 4 - Netflix's upcoming film Ghooskhor Pandat, headlined by Manoj Bajpayee, has landed in controversy soon after its official announcement, with the title becoming the biggest point of contention. The film, which features Bajpayee as a corrupt police officer, drew sharp criticism on social media for allegedly being offensive and casteist in nature. The backlash stems from the use of the word "Pandat/Pandit" in the title, which many users and community members claim unfairly associates the Brahmin community with corruption. Several netizens argued that even if the story revolves around bribery and systemic rot, the title unnecessarily targets a specific identity, thereby hurting religious and social sentiments. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The outrage has now escalated beyond social media, with legal action being threatened. Reports suggest that complaints have been filed with authorities, and concerned people have publicly warned Netflix and the makers of potential court proceedings if the title is not changed. The complainants allege that the title could amount to promoting hatred and stereotyping, which may invite legal scrutiny. As of now, Netflix and the film's makers have not issued an official statement addressing the controversy or confirming any changes to the title. Meanwhile, boycott calls continue to trend online, putting the project under pressure even before its release. It remains to be seen whether the streaming giant will opt for damage control or stand by the original title amid the growing legal and public backlash. Stay tuned...

Shoojit Sircar to direct Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao in a mythological comedy; Filming begins 2026

After delivering hard-hitting dramas and slice-of-life masterpieces, acclaimed filmmaker Shoojit Sircar is all set to return to the genre that made him a household name. Reports confirm that the director of Vicky Donor and Piku is developing a brand-new comedy film. However, in true Sircar style, this won't be a run-of-the-mill entertainer. The project is being touted as a mythological comedy,a sub-genre rarely explored in Indian cinema, promising a fresh and quirky cinematic experience. To bring this unique vision to life, Shoojit Sircar has reportedly pulled off a massive casting coup. The film will headline two of India's most versatile actors—Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao. Both actors are known for their impeccable comic timing and ability to slip into rooted characters effortlessly. While they have individually redefined acting standards, seeing them share the screen in a full-blown comedy under Sircar’s direction is a prospect that has already got the trade buzzing. Sources close to the development reveal that the film will feature a unique plot centered around a mythological twist. The narrative is said to reimagine a pivotal chapter from the epic Mahabharata but with a humorous and eccentric approach. The director aims to balance modern storytelling elements with the traditional ethos of the epic, creating a satire that is both witty and culturally rooted. This unconventional premise is expected to be a game-changer, blending social commentary with laugh-out-loud moments. Currently, the project is in the scripting and pre-production stage. With both lead actors occupied with their prior commitments, the film is scheduled to go on floors in 2026. Shoojit Sircar, whose last release I Want To Talk (starring Abhishek Bachchan) received critical acclaim for its emotional depth, is keen to switch gears and offer the audience a light-hearted yet meaningful entertainer. As the team finalizes the rest of the cast and crew, fans can look forward to one of the most exciting collaborations of the coming year. Shoojit Sircar has a proven track record of extracting the best performances from his actors, be it Amitabh Bachchan in Piku or Varun Dhawan in October. With powerhouses like Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao on board, this mythological comedy is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated announcements in Bollywood.
