Netflix Assures Sensitivity on ‘IC 814’ Row

Netflix Pledges Sensitivity in Content Following ‘IC 814’ Controversy

Netflix has responded to concerns regarding its series, IC-814: The Kandahar Hijack, which has sparked controversy due to the portrayal of hijackers with the code names ‘Bhola’ and ‘Shankar’. The OTT platform has assured the Indian government that it will ensure future content respects national sentiments and is sensitive to cultural and political concerns.

The assurance was made by Monika Shergill, Netflix India’s content head, during a recent meeting with officials from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Shergill stated that Netflix is committed to conducting a thorough content review and adapting its programming to better align with the nation’s values and sensitivities.

This development comes amid backlash from various quarters about the series’ representation of sensitive historical events. Netflix’s promise to adjust its content strategy reflects an effort to address these concerns and maintain a positive relationship with Indian viewers and authorities.
