The Delhi High Court has allowed former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer Sameer Wankhede to move to a Mumbai court with his defamation lawsuit against a Netflix show referencing the Aryan Khan case. The Delhi court had earlier dismissed his plea after holding that the national capital court lacks territorial jurisdiction. Delhi HC allows Sameer Wankhede to move Mumbai court The matter was brought before Justice Vikas Mahajan, who allowed Wankhede's application seeking permission to present his complaint before a competent court in Mumbai. The court granted permission and asked the parties to appear before the Mumbai court on February 12, which is when Wankhede proposes to institute the suit. Justice Vikas Mahajan directed, "The application is allowed. Let the parties appear before the City Civil and Sessions Court, Dindoshi, Malad in Mumbai on February 12 when he [Wankhede] proposes to present the plaint." During the hearing, Wankhede's counsel informed the court regarding the January 29 order of Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, which returned the complaint under the Civil Procedure Code and granted him permission to approach the appropriate forum. Acting on that liberty, Wankhede moved an application under Order VII Rule 10A CPC to facilitate the transfer of the case to Mumbai. Permitting the request, the court noted that procedural requirements had been met and formally cleared the way for the suit to be undertaken before the City Civil Court. About the lawsuit Back in 2021, Wankhede, then Zonal Director of NCB, had arrested Aryan, son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS Act) following a drug raid in Mumbai. Aryan was later cleared of the charges. Recently, Wankhede had approached the Delhi High Court claiming that a character shown in Episode 1 of the Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and directed by Aryan Khan, was a veiled and defamatory portrayal of him. The series is linked to events surrounding the Aryan Khan drugs case. He sought orders for removal or restraint on certain scenes, arguing that the depiction damaged his reputation and dignity. Wankhede alleged that the character's appearance, conduct, and mannerisms bore an unmistakable resemblance to him and had been widely identified as such in media reports. The defendants, however, raised a preliminary objection on territorial jurisdiction, arguing that the suit ought to have been filed in Mumbai since Wankhede resides there and Red Chillies Entertainment's registered office is also located in the city. They further maintained that the series is a fictional and satirical work and does not recreate the Cordelia cruise raid. Accepting these submissions, Justice Kaurav had earlier ruled that the Delhi High Court could not entertain the suit and ordered the plaint to be returned. With Monday's order, that decision has now been procedurally operationalised, enabling Wankhede to continue his legal challenge in Mumbai. (With inputs from ANI)
03 February,2026 03:32 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 is among the most talked-about and highly anticipated films of 2026. Amid the growing buzz, leaked images from the sets of Dhurandhar: The Revenge recently went viral on social media. The pictures featured Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal shooting in South Mumbai’s Ballard Estate, which had been transformed into Karachi’s Lyari locality, where a key portion of the film is set. However, the shoot was halted two days ago following police intervention. Dhurandhar 2 lands in trouble According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, the Mumbai Police took action after the film’s crew allegedly flew a drone in the area without proper authorisation. A First Information Report (FIR) was filed against location manager Rinku Rajpal Valmiki under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for “knowingly disobeying lawful orders from officials.” The FIR stated that drones were used without the required permissions. As per the report, on February 1, Sanjay Dutt arrived on set to shoot a crucial sequence for Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The actor, who plays SP Choudhary in the film, was seen dressed in a Pathani suit and holding a gun, with the drone intended to capture his dramatic walk. However, police officials arrived on set and ordered the shoot to be halted after discovering that the drone was being operated without permission in a high-security area. Zonal DCP Pravin Mundhe reportedly confirmed the incident and stated that the location manager was taken into custody. Police sources told the tabloid that while the line producers had secured permission from the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation Limited for the shoot, they failed to obtain clearance for drone usage. The tabloid also quoted a local resident who claimed that the Dhurandhar 2 team had blocked two parallel roads—Fort-Nariman Street and Modi Street—on January 30, 31, and February 1 for the shoot.

Notably, the poster carries the logos of Star Gold and JioHotstar, indicating that the satellite and OTT rights for Dhurandhar 2 have been sold to the respective platforms. The first instalment is currently streaming on Netflix. Dhurandhar 2 resumes with Hamza Ali Mazhari, an Indian undercover agent who has successfully infiltrated Pakistan’s underworld. After eliminating Rehman Dakait, Hamza rises through the ranks of power, only to confront his most formidable adversary yet—Major Iqbal, the ISI mastermind known as Bade Sahab.

The first part, released in December 2025, emerged as a massive box-office success. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film stars Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal in pivotal roles. The first instalment is currently streaming on Netflix; however, it appears that Part 2 may be headed to a different platform for its digital release.

After taking down Rehman Dakait, Hamza rises through the ranks of power, only to face his most formidable adversary yet—Major Iqbal, the ISI mastermind known as Bade Sahab. Dhurandhar on Netflix The Ranveer Singh-starrer began streaming on Netflix from January 30. However, the film faced criticism from audiences who felt the OTT version was trimmed and compromised in quality. Many viewers complained that the re-edited version diluted the essence of the film, with several slamming Netflix for hampering the cinematic experience. The fresh edits sparked debate over the need for additional sanitisation. Addressing the concerns, a source close to Netflix India clarified, “Netflix has exhibited the film exactly as it was provided by the studio. The platform does not re-edit certified feature films.” According to the source, the version supplied for streaming was already the modified cut that played in theatres. A revised version of the film was reportedly screened from January 1, 2026, after the makers removed the term ‘Baloch’. “That is the shorter version and the same is streaming on Netflix. It is identical to the theatrical CBFC-approved version. As with all theatrical films, the three-minute runtime difference is due to elements such as interval plates or in-theatre ad requirements that do not carry over to digital platforms,” the source added.
