FWICE Seeks Ban on Manoj Bajpayee's Film 'Ghooskhor Pandat' Over Title Controversy

The upcoming Netflix film Ghooskhor Pandat, starring Manoj Bajpayee and directed by Neeraj Pandey, faces controversy over its title, which the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) calls offensive and derogatory toward the Brahmin community. FWICE has demanded a ban and threatened industry boycott if changes are not made, citing risks to social harmony. Legal petitions and political protests have also emerged. The filmmakers maintain the film is a fictional cop drama not targeting any community, and Bajpayee has expressed respect for concerns raised.
