In a significant move, one of Bollywood’s biggest production houses, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment (NGE), has taken legal action against individuals allegedly involved in extortion and threatening to post negative reviews of their films. Headed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, the company released an official statement detailing the issue and the steps they have taken to address it.
The production house, which has been a part of the industry for over 75 years, has drawn a firm line between genuine criticism and illegal practices, stating they have submitted evidence, including call recordings, to the authorities.
What The Official Statement Says
In the official communication, NGE made it clear that they are strong supporters of freedom of speech and have always welcomed “fair criticism or reviews” of their films. They stated that they believe “constructive criticism is essential for helping filmmakers grow.”
However, the statement reveals a darker side of the review culture. It says, “we recently came across evidence , including call recordings, indicating that a few individuals were demanding money and threatening to malign the reputation of our films, directors, and lead actors if their demands were not met.” NGE believes such behaviour is illegal and warrants a proper investigation.
Legal Action Taken Against Few Individuals
Taking the matter seriously, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment has not just issued a warning but has also taken concrete steps. The statement confirms, “we have referred the matter to the relevant investigative agencies for lawful action.” This means a formal complaint has been lodged, and an official investigation into these alleged extortion attempts is likely to begin soon. This strong action could have a major impact on how the industry deals with such issues in the future.
A Clear Message To Genuine Reviewers
NGE was very careful to distinguish between malicious actors and the larger community of genuine critics and content creators. The statement emphasizes that their legal action is “directed solely at those engaging in such malicious practices and not at any genuine, independent reviewers or YouTubers.” The production house added that they “value honest work and wholeheartedly welcome their contributions to the healthy progress of the film industry.”
