India's first original web series, Sacred Games, might just be feeling the heat of #MeToo since allegations against its writer, Varun Grover, emerged. Rumour has it that the show's second installment is in peril since Grover has been accused of sexual harassment, reported The Indian Express.
When contacted, the online streaming giant, Netflix, said in a statement, “At this time, we are evaluating options on the path forward.”
Grover was quick to deny the allegations on his Twitter and later also put out a detailed official statement clarifying and negating every single detail in the alleged accusation.
"I completely, totally, categorically deny all the allegations being made. The screenshot in question is untrue, misleading, and defamatory to say the least. Issuing a detailed statement soon," he tweeted.
Grover then gave a detailed account on clarifying his name.
"Here's my detailed statement about the completely fabricated, misleading, and defamatory allegations against me. Am absolutely willing to cooperate and clear my name. Let's not allow such agenda-driven tactics to derail this movement please," he wrote.
The writer, best known for writing the critically-acclaimed 2015 film Masaan, which starred Vicky Kaushal, co-wrote the Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte-starrer.
Sacred Games has not only received critical-acclaim in India but has also been lauded by the international audience.
