Indian Air Force wants Netflix to remove scenes from a film
Indian Air Force has taken strong objection to the trailer of Anil Kapoor`s upcoming film AK vs AK. They have asked Netflix to withdraw scenes from the film in which Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor wears a military uniform and uses offensive language. The film, a mockumentary featuring Anil Kapoor playing an actor depicting an officer, and director Anurag Kashyap is scheduled to be released on Netflix later in December. Anil Kapoor tweeted a trailer of the film in which he appears bedraggled in a uniform and swears at Kashyap. On its official Twitter account, the Indian Air Force (IAF) responded that the IAF uniform in this video is inaccurately donned and the language used is inappropriate. This does not conform to the behavioral norms of those in the Armed Forces of India. The related scenes need to be withdrawn. In separate tweets, both Kapoor and Netflix India said the film did not intend to disrespect the Indian Air Force. Netflix has faced at least two legal challenges in recent months in India for a Bollywood film depicting a female Air Force officer and a series on four Indian tycoons facing fraud allegations. In November, the Indian government announced rules to regulate content on video streaming platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Walt Disney`s Disney + Hotstar.
