Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives: Madhur Bhandarkar Objects To Karan Johar Using The Title
Netflix India dropped the trailer for their upcoming reality show titled The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has called out Karan Johar for using his project title.
Netflix India dropped the trailer for their upcoming reality show titled Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives on November 12. The show is all set to follow popular Bollywood star wives Seema Khan (wife of Sohail Khan), Maheep Kapoor (wife of Sanjay Kapoor), Bhavana Pandey (wife of Chunky Panday) and Neelam Kothari Soni (wife of Samir Soni). While it was received well by the audience, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has called out producer Karan Johar for using his project's title for the web series.
Madhur Bhandarkar took to his Twitter account on November 20 and revealed that he has a project with a similar title. He shared that while Johar's Dharma Productions reached out for the rights of his title, Bhandarkar refused, and the makers chose to tweak it. Bhandarkar has now requested the production house to change the title, as it is ethically wrong.
Bhandarkar wrote, "Dear @karanjohar U & @apoorvamehta18 had asked me 4 the title #BollywoodWives for web, which I refused, as my project is underway. It is Morally & ethically wrong u to tweak it to #TheFabulousLivesofBollywoodWives. Pls do not dent my project. I humbly request u to change the title."
