This comes as Amazon Prime Video has become embroiled in legal cases and police complaints alleging"Tandav" depicts Hindu gods and goddesses in a derogatory manner and offends religious beliefs."Tandav", a Hindi word meaning fury, stars top Bollywood actors. "Scripts are being read and re-read now," said a producer from Bollywood, India's Hindi film industry."Streaming platforms are vetting content for anything that they see as a red flag," the producer added, declining to be named.
