New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has summoned Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies and Netflix in Sameer Wankhede’s defamation suit against him over Aryan Khan’s show, Ba***ds of Bollywood.

Sameer Wankhede claims that he has been defamed by the portrayal in the web series “The Ba***dies of Bollywood.” The court directed the defendants (Netflix and Red Chillies) to file a response to this allegation, as well as to a petition seeking the removal of the allegedly defamatory content from various websites. However, the court has not yet issued an interim injunction order.
The matter was listed earlier to Justice Purushendra Kumar Kaur. Senior advocate Sandeep Sethi appeared on behalf of Wankhede and drew the court’s attention to his amended petition. At the previous hearing, the court had directed Wankhede to file an amended petition to clarify the maintainability of the case in Delhi.
