Mirzapur-2 which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, seems to be in trouble yet again. After Mirzapur MP demanded action against the series for portraying the city Mirzapur in a bad light and spreading ethnic disharmony, now, Hindi crime fiction author Surender Mohan Pathak has issued a letter to the makers. In his letter dated 27.10.2020, the author has alleged that the makers have misrepresented his book titled ‘Dhabba’ and in turn, put him ‘in a bad light as a well-known mystery writer’.The author took to his unverified Twitter page and posted the letter that highlights his issues with the particular scene wherein his blood ‘Dhabba’ is shown in the series.
In the said scene in ‘Mirzapur 2’, actor Kulbhushan Kharbada’s character Satyanand Tripathi is seen lying on his bed, reading a novel titled ‘Dhabba’. There’s a voice-over which reads out the lines from the book Tripathi is seen holding. However, Pathak in a letter to Amazon Prime Video has mentioned that the lines are not from his book.
In the letter, Pathak wrote, “My attention has been drawn by my fans and well-wishers towards a web series entitled Mirzapur 2 currently being telecast on Amazon Prime Video (OTT Platform wherein during Episode 3, a character named Satyanand Tripathi, played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda has been shown reading my Sunil Series novel entitled Dhabba.”
