The Netflix series 'IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack', directed by Anubhav Sinha, has faced backlash due to its portrayal of the 1999 hijacking incident and the use of altered names for the terrorists, specifically 'Bhola' and 'Shankar'. Critics argue that this misrepresentation obscures the true identities of the hijackers and misrepresents historical facts, leading to outrage on social media. In response, the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting summoned Netflix's content head for a meeting to address these concerns. Supporters of the series, including its casting director, defended the use of these aliases, claiming they were the names used among the hijackers themselves. Political figures, including BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar, have condemned the series for its inaccuracies and the implications of using names with Hindu connotations. The controversy has sparked a broader discussion about the representation of historical events in media and censorship in India.
