The new Netflix series 'Rana Naidu' features family actor Venkatesh and his nephew, another popular pan-Indian actor Rana Daggubati in lead roles.
It is disappointing that the Daggubati family has chosen to compromise their pride and respect for a price.
The series is disgusting and nauseating with its nudity, lewd sexual acts, and filthy language. Is it necessary for Venkatesh to be part of such trash?
Netflix has been introducing forced sexual content and filthy language in Indian entertainment, imitating Western nonsense.
The BJP government has ignored this phenomenon and has not implemented censorship for OTT shows. If a foreign company like Netflix can sell this kind of content to Indian citizens, will the government allow its citizens to sell blue films publicly by opening shops? What is the government doing?
Venkatesh is a senior family actor, and Rana is a well-known young actor who can potentially attract family audiences with their presence.
It is embarrassing to attempt to watch this series in the drawing room TV. I switched it on, but within just a few minutes, it became apparent that it was beyond acceptable limits, and I immediately changed the channel.
Daggubati Suresh Babu has sold his son and brother to such a worst show because the platform paid them double the remuneration.
It is evident. Venkatesh, at least, could have avoided this kind of rubbish, as he commands some respect from family audiences.
Censorship for Netflix is necessary in India as it is one of the most widely watched OTT platforms. When Western films are streamed on Indian TV channels, they undergo exclusive censorship. Why can't the same be implemented for Netflix shows and series?
The Indian government banned the Netflix documentary on Narendra Modi for political reasons. Can't the government do the same by banning series like 'Rana Naidu' in the interest of Indian culture and social acceptance?
Is the BJP government so numb and dumb when a foreign entertainment channel is disturbing Indian texture? It is my public appeal to the GOI to take immediate action on 'Rana Naidu' and implement censor norms for all OTT platforms.
