After Tandav, another Amazon Prime Video show, Mirzapur, is in hot water. On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the OTT platform, the producers (Excel Entertainment) and the Union government on a plea filed by a Mirzapur resident, Sujeet Kumar Singh, against the web series. The petition states that the Pankaj Tripathi-starrer “maligns the image” of the city.

"Mirzapur has rich cultural value, but in 2018 Excel Entertainment has launched a web series named Mirzapur of 9 episodes in which they have shown Mirzapur a city of goons and adulteresses," said the plea.
