Tandav Controversy: Richa Chadha, Konkona Sen Sharma & Others Take A Dig At Apex Court's Ruling

Ali Abbas Zafar's Tandav has been the talk of the town since its release. After several FIRs were filed against the makers, Zafar had released a statement apologising for unintentionally hurting people's sentiments. Soon the controversial content from the Amazon Prime Video show was also removed as per suggestions given by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

However, several more complaints had been filed against the showrunners across India. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court rejected a plea filed by the makers' requesting for anticipatory bail and seeking quashing of FIRs. The apex court had said, "Your right to freedom of speech is not absolute. You cannot play the role of character that hurts the sentiments of a community." (sic)

Bollywood celebrities have now reacted to the Supreme Court's ruling in the controversial case. Konkona Sen Sharma while taking a dig at the ruling, wrote on Twitter, "Almost all involved in the show have read the script and signed the contract! Let's arrest the whole cast and crew?"

Meanwhile, writer Mayur Puri offered to explain the difference between fiction and non-fiction. In one of his tweets, he added, 'an unwritten contract, an understanding between audience and creator that the events depicted in fiction are not true."

Richa Chadha quoted a news tweet of the ruling in the case and wrote, "Priorities of the apex court !"

Mukul Chadda reacted to the bench's comment that actors had 'read the script' and so could be held responsible. He tweeted, "Excellent. Next people playing murderers on screen might be tried for the same. After all, they read the script...."
