Overview

• Kashyap devoted 18 months to handwrite a 900-page, three-part series adaptation of Suketu Mehta’s Maximum City for Netflix.
• After delivering the completed scripts, he never received feedback or an official notice of cancellation from the platform.
• He broke silence in July 2025 to publicly denounce Netflix India’s reliance on subscription metrics and algorithms rather than original storytelling.
• Kashyap charged CEO Ted Sarandos with misunderstanding Indian audiences and accused staff of prioritizing job security over quality cinema.
• The fully written project remains in limbo with no signal from Netflix on if or when production might resume.
