Netflix Updates Kandahar Hijack Series Disclaimer
News summary

Netflix has agreed to update the opening disclaimer of its series 'IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack' to include the real names of the hijackers following controversy over the use of Hindu code names for Muslim hijackers. The change came after a meeting between Netflix India's Vice President of Content, Monika Shergill, and I&B Secretary Sanjay Jaju, where concerns about cultural insensitivity and factual omissions were discussed. The series, directed by Anubhav Sinha, had faced significant backlash on social media and from government officials for its portrayal of the hijackers. Netflix committed to ensuring that its content respects Indian cultural values and accurately represents historical events. The updated disclaimer aims to assist viewers unfamiliar with the 1999 hijacking by providing both the real and code names used during the incident.
