Noted director Hansal Mehta’s upcoming web-series, “Scam 2003: The Telgi Story”, surprised fans yesterday by dropping in a thrilling teaser of the series. The project, which counts as a sequel to Mehta’s previous production, “Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story” (2020), has already created quite a buzz on social media.

While it has recently been reported that a few Bollywood films will be approved for import in Bangladesh, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has now sent a notice that “Faraaz”—a Bollywood film about the Holey Artisan attack on July 1, 2016—will not be allowed to screen in Bangladesh.

How is it that such a seasoned director did not seek consent from the victims’ families when making Faraaz?
