03:23The case of the RN Khane
03:25was when Samir Vankhade was in Mumbai.
03:27Many cases,
03:29the cases came from the drug.
03:31The cases in Mumbai,

03:43Some days,
03:45in jail.
03:46After that, when the other team investigated, Aryan Khan gave a clean sheet, there was no
03:56charge sheet.
03:57After that, Samirwan Khan came to the vivaad, ED and CBI had a different case, and their

05:09Listen in.

05:22That's why I and my family are giving people to me,
05:28they are telling us, telling us, telling us.
05:31This is not permissible as per law.
05:34So, we came to Delhi High Court,
05:36that the clip was deleted.
05:39And it was a fun game of Satya Mev Jayate.
05:43So, this is our case.
05:50So, who has made a party?
05:52It has made a party, Netflix has made a party.
05:56And there are two content creators, they have made a party.
05:59Shah Rukh Khan, Aryan Khan, Gauri Khan, all these people?
06:03If a party has made a party, it doesn't have to be automatically.
06:06Okay, and what are 2 crore rupees for damage?
06:102 crore rupees for damage?
06:12We have made a party.
06:13We have made a party.
06:14But if we get them, then we will donate them to Tata Memorial Hospital.
06:19Okay sir, thank you sir.

06:24So, you just heard the lawyer, Jatin Parashar, lawyer of Samir Vankhadi telling us what exactly is the plea against Red Chillies.
06:45With us is Arvind Hoja.
06:47Arvind, you didn't have to say this with his lawyers.
06:50So, they are saying that the depiction, the portrayal of the officer, they have the appeal.
06:58And they want to remove the clip from the series.
07:02So, this is the question of the defamation, which is only defamation, which is the same as the series?
07:09Well, this is the question of the defamation case.

07:39to be able to delete the clip from the series and to be able to file a proper application.
07:48Samir Vaan Khedai's lawyer, he has exclusively given a story in India,
07:53which has given the knowledge of which the series,
07:58which is a character, he finds something from Samir Vaan Khedai.
08:03This is not just Samir Vaan Khedai's lawyer,
08:10but he has also tried to do this.
08:14Therefore, he has filed a defamation case,
08:17and he has two crores for him,
08:20and he has the clip from the series,
08:23he has to delete it.
08:25And if we talk about the case of Aryan Khedai,
08:28when the case of N-C-B,
08:30the case of the drug case,
08:32when Samir Vaan Khedai's lawyer,
08:34he has been arrested.

08:50people were arrested on social media,
08:52the case of the drug case,
08:54and especially Samir Vaan Khedai's character,
08:56he was arrested.
08:58So finally,
08:59Samir Vaan Khedai has arrested the Delhi High Court.
09:02Thank you, Arvind, for all those details.
09:04Clearly, a case now against,
09:07I beg your pardon,
09:09a defamation case plea has been filed by Samir Vaan Khedai.
09:13Let's listen to what the lawyer of Samir Vaan Khedai is saying once again.
09:43Yes.
09:44After that,
09:45they had our character assassination.
09:46Yes.
09:47The court proceedings spending,
09:49they tried to prioritize them.
09:51Yes.
09:52After that,
09:54they had the pre-planned theory in the whole social media.
09:58They had the pre-planned theory.
09:59They had the practical,
10:01implemented it.
10:02Yes.
10:03As a result,
10:04I, my family,
10:05people are giving me,
10:07they are telling us,
10:09we are telling us,
10:10we are telling us,
10:11this is not permissible as well.
10:13Yes.
10:14So,
10:15we have the Delhi High Court
10:16that the clip will be deleted.
10:18Yes.
10:19And,
10:20there was also a fun game of Samir Vaan Khedai.
10:22So,
10:23we have also told us,
10:24that the Samir Vaan Khedai will be deleted from that portion.
10:27Yes.
10:28So,
10:29this is our case.
10:30So,
10:31who has made a party, sir?
10:32Yes.
10:33There is a party in Red Chinese,
10:35Netflix,
10:36and there are two content creators,
10:38they have also made a party.
10:39Shah Rukh Khan,
10:40Aryan Khan,
10:41Gauri Khan,
10:42all these people?
10:43No.
10:44If it's a party,
10:45it's not made a party.
10:46Okay.
10:47And,
10:482 crore rupees,
10:49what's the damage?
10:50What's the damage, sir?
10:512 crore rupees,
10:52the damage,
10:53but,
10:54if we get it,
10:55then,
10:56we will donate it to Tata Memorial Hospital.
10:58Okay, sir.
10:59Thank you, sir.
11:00So,
11:01that was Jatin Parashar.
11:02He was telling us,
11:03what exactly is the plea,
11:04that they have submitted in front of the court.
11:06And,
11:07joining me once again,
11:08is India Today's,
11:09Arvind Oja.
11:10Arvind,
11:11this is the case.
11:12I just�도 this स्मीर वांखड़े उस वक्त एन-सीवी में आला अफसर थे
11:22हैं तो क्या था वो मामला और बाद में जाकर कि सिव्यर वांखड़े पे
11:27में ओड़ा सा पलड़ता हुए नजर आये तह कियों कि यह पूरी कहानी qua으 उस वक्त सुरकियों
11:31in the future.
12:01But when R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a couple of clips from NCB's to come in which the case of NCB's handling the case was handled by R.N. Kharn, who had arrested, were N.C.B.'s not a private person.
12:18But when R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a couple of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a couple of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested.
12:36And after that, the case was handled by R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested.
12:53And after that, the case was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested.
13:06And after that, the case was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested.
13:23And after that, the case was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested.
13:40And after that, the case was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested.
13:57And after that, the case was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested.
14:14And when that series came after that, the clip was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested, there was a lot of cases where R.N. Kharn was arrested.
14:29And that's why R.N. Kharn was arrested and arrested. And that's why R.N. Kharn was arrested.
14:34Arvind, for all those details.
14:36So, clearly, Samir Vankhari does not think
14:41that this is just a creative freedom
14:42taken by the producers and the actors,
14:45and he is taking it to the hilt.
14:47And joining us now is Sana Farzeen from Mumbai.
14:50Sana, usually when we see such depictions
14:53in series or films, there is a disclaimer put out.
14:56What is the situation with this series?
14:58Can you explain to us more how can this impact the series?
15:03See, firstly, they did not name the character.
15:07It wasn't named after Samir Vankhari.
15:09But given that he looked identical to the real-life character,
15:13there has been a lot of buzz, especially on social media.
15:16Ever since Bats of Bollywood dropped on Netflix,
15:18people have been sharing that clip,
15:20comparing Samir and the character.
15:23Of course, the initial disclaimer in the show
15:26also mentioned that most characters are fictional,
15:29which is a protocol that most films
15:32and OTT shows do.
15:34But given the look alike,
15:36the character that they chose to have,
15:39play that officer who was on the hunt
15:42for drug cases, especially in Bollywood.
15:44The references have been clear,
15:46and fans, of course, do comparisons.
15:49And this is why, of course,
15:50Samir Vankhari has now gone to Delhi High Court
15:52against Netflix, Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies,
15:55and of course, the show.
15:56He's also demanded rupees 2 crore in damages,
15:59and he's also mentioned that he wants to donate the same
16:02to Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital.
16:04Samir Vankhari has also asked that the clip be deleted,
16:08although it's all over the internet.
16:09It's already seen.
16:11It has been almost five days since the show dropped,
16:15and people have seen it.
16:16It has gone viral,
16:18and he wants,
16:21he's demanded that the clip be deleted from the show,
16:25and an apology also be needed.
16:27I mean, of course,
16:28given that this is a fictional show,
16:31and there has been a name to the character,
16:34of course,
16:35we'll have to see what the Netflix
16:37and Red Chillies legal team decides to do.
16:40But either Red Chillies or Netflix on the same.
16:46Right.
16:46Sana, this is not the first legal trouble
16:48or controversy that has been generated
16:50by this series.
16:52There was another one that happened
16:54just a few days ago,
16:55where NHRC had demanded
16:57that an FIR be registered
16:59or some action be taken
17:00against the makers of the series
17:02for use of vape.
17:04So, this is another trouble then.
17:07Absolutely.
17:09And that was actually a matter
17:11which the legal team of Netflix
17:13and Red Chillies kind of overlooked
17:15because every time you have a character
17:17smoking on screen,
17:18you have to add a disclaimer.
17:20That is a protocol
17:21that is followed all across.
17:23And that was actually a moment of,
17:26I think they missed on that.
17:28And this is why that scene got created.
17:30And of course,
17:30because it had the Bollywood superstar
17:32Ranbir Kapoor using bigger controversy.
17:36But as of now,
17:37Netflix's team has been lying down.
17:39Red Chillies has made no official comment.
17:42But apart from getting a lot of love from fans,
17:44these two controversies are marring
17:46the success of the Vads of Bollywood as of now.
17:49Right.
17:50Sana, also do tell us
17:51how this is going to impact
17:52the industry as such.
17:56Because we have seen that
17:57every time something happens,
17:59we see support pouring in,
18:00we see criticisms pouring in.
18:02So, can we expect now
18:04that there will be
18:05some public display
18:06of support or criticism
18:08over social media?
18:09Or do you feel
18:11this is going to just blow under?
18:14Saru Khan's drug case has happened.
18:16We've seen a very clear demarcation.
18:18There is a section,
18:19especially Saru Khan's fans
18:21who kind of have supported Arya.
18:22They still believe
18:23that it was all a planned case,
18:26that he was framed in that case.
18:28And of course,
18:29there is a section
18:29that has spoken against Bollywood
18:31and they feel
18:32that Bollywood is influencing
18:33the youth in the wrong way.
18:35And thus,
18:36when there's drug cases involved,
18:37they've been used on screen,
18:39automatically there is an outcry
18:41by that section of people
18:43who feel that Bollywood
18:44is influencing the youth
18:45in a negative light.
18:47And after the Samir Wankhadeh case
18:49and of course the e-cigarette
18:50that we've been talking about,
18:52this discussion,
18:53this debate
18:54has been all over social media.
18:56But there is clearly
18:57a demarcation.
18:58And Shah Rukh Khan's fans
18:59have been supporting him.
19:00They still believe
19:01that even though
19:02the Samir Wankhadeh issue,
19:04he looks similar to him,
19:06but they are saying
19:07that it's a fictional character.
19:08It may be loosely adapted.
19:10So there's a very gray space
19:12that we are all talking about.
19:13Of course,
19:14the wave case is clear.
19:16They should have done that.
19:17It's illegal to use cigarettes
19:20and cigarette or smoking scenes
19:22without a disclaimer.
19:23But right now
19:24with Samir Wankhadeh
19:24and Aryan Khan case,
19:26this looks like a gray area
19:27because there's no mention
19:28of the name,
19:29there's no official statement
19:30that this is based on him.
19:32It's all fictional
19:33and I think creative liberty
19:35can be,
19:36I think it will be allowed.
19:37But fans,
19:38of course,
19:38are divided over the matter
19:39and we'll have to wait
19:41and watch
19:41if Netflix or Red Chillies
19:43decide to issue
19:44an official statement
19:46or delete the scene.
19:47It will also depend
19:48on what the high court
19:49kind of takes
19:50the legal case ahead
19:51and how Samir Wankhadeh
19:52manages to solve this issue.
19:54Right.
19:55Thank you, Sana,
19:55for those details.
19:56So clearly,
19:57legal troubles
19:58are mounting
19:59for Red Chillies
20:00and Netflix
20:01and also Aryan Khan
20:02and his parents
20:03with Samir Wankhadeh
20:05now filing
20:06a defamation suit
20:07against this series
20:09called Bats of Bollywood
20:10that he has directed.
20:12Now,
20:12let's listen into
20:13what exactly
20:15Samir Wankhadeh
20:16is asking
20:17in his plea.
