Tandav web series director Ali Abbas Zafar is in the conversation with I&B Ministry to resolve Tandav row. Now, the question arises if he’s inclined to remove the controversial scene from the film.
Tandav was released on Amazon Prime video sometime back starring Bollywood icon Saif Ali Khan in the lead role. But after the series was finally aired, it ignited huge controversy over a scene that hurt Hindu sentiments.
Reacting to the film’s boycott, the makers didn’t wait long to issue an unconditional apology letter. Although, the matter is in the court and needs to be resolved for the sake of the web series where hundreds of people have given their contribution.
We just want to share a quick update with everybody. We are in further engagement with the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting to resolve the concerns that have been raised. We value your continued patience and support, and should have a solution shortly. https://t.co/Yp8kogTlvs

So far, two FIRs have been filed in the case. One of them is filed in Lucknow and the other one is in Mumbai. You might remember senior BJP leader Ram Kadam had initiated a protest ‘Joote Maro’ movement against the entire Tandav series while other leaders simply issued the legal notice.
Some of the leaders who registered their displeasure over the web series include Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath among others.
