Supreme court notice to the makers of Mirzapur web series and Amazon Prime Video

The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the creator of the Mirzapur web series and Amazon Prime Video on a petition.

The petition has questioned the content shown in the web series and accused it of showing a wrong image of the Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh.

The court has sought answers from the OTT platform and web series manufacturers regarding this. The petition said that the cultural value of Mirzapur is quite rich.

But in 2018 Excel Entertainment launched a web series of 9 episodes titled Mirzapur, in which they showed Mirzapur as a city with illegal activities, which tarnishes the image of the district.

The bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde issued notice to the Center, Excel Entertainment Pvt Ltd, and Amazon Prime Video after a brief hearing in the case.
