Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has been blamed again for insulting a religion. Akali Dal leader Manjinder Sirsa has alleged that ‘Anurag Kashyap has deliberately put a scene in Sacred Games 2 of Saif Ali Khan who plays a Sikh officer throwing his Kada (a sacred ornament) for Sikhs as something that is ordinary.’ Sirsa took to Twitter and wrote, “I wonder why Bollywood continues to disrespect our religious symbols! Anurag Kashyap deliberately puts this scene in Sacred Games S2 where Saif Ali Khan throws his Kada in sea! A KADA is not an ordinary ornament. It’s the pride of Sikhs & a blessing of Guru Sahib.”
Sirsa has demanded immediate removal of the scene from the show and threatened legal action against the platform. There have instances in the past when Netflix has removed scenes after objections have been taken by concerned parties. Netflix had deleted the explicit depiction of suicide of a character from the show 13 Reasons Why after medical experts expressed concerns. The platform had removed a real life disaster used in the film Bird Box.
