Overview
- Wankhede has sued Red Chillies Entertainment and Netflix, seeking an injunction, a declaration, and ₹2 crore in damages he says would be donated to Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital.
- Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav queried how the case could proceed in Delhi and allowed time for an amended filing before the matter is listed again.
- The suit asks for removal of a specific segment of Episode 1 (timestamp 32:02–33:50) that Wankhede says features a character closely resembling him.
- The petition alleges a false and malicious portrayal and objects to a scene where a character makes an obscene gesture after saying “Satyamev Jayate,” citing the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.
- Defendants also include X, Google and Meta, and the filing references the 2021 cruise raid in which Aryan Khan was arrested before later being cleared; the show’s creators have not confirmed the character is based on Wankhede.
