Delhi High Court to Hear Sameer Wankhede’s Defamation Suit Next Month

The Delhi High Court will hear IRS officer Sameer Wankhede’s defamation suit next month against Red Chillies Entertainment, Netflix, and others over his portrayal in the web series “Ba**ds of Bollywood.”

Wankhede contended that the series was “deliberately conceptualised and executed” to malign his image in a “colourable and prejudicial manner,” particularly while the related criminal proceedings involving him and Aryan Khan were still pending before competent courts. 

He sought ₹2 crores in damages and a permanent injunction restraining further streaming or circulation of the show.

The Court took note of his allegations and directed the matter to be listed for a detailed hearing next month.
