UP man complains Mirzapur maligns district, SC notice to Amazon Prime

Pankaj Tripathi in Mirzapur
After Tandav, another Amazon Prime Video show, Mirzapur, is in hot water. On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the OTT platform, the producers (Excel Entertainment) and the Union government on a plea filed by a Mirzapur resident, Sujeet Kumar Singh, against the web series. The petition states that the Pankaj Tripathi-starrer “maligns the image” of the city.
"Mirzapur has rich cultural value, but in 2018 Excel Entertainment has launched a web series named Mirzapur of 9 episodes in which they have shown Mirzapur a city of goons and adulteresses," said the plea.
