A controversy has sparked out between filmmakers Karan Johar and Madhur Bhandarkar over the title of their respective projects. Bhandarkar has asked Johar to change the name of his upcoming Netflix show’s title ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’.
Bhandarkar recently put out a tweet wherein he has claimed that he originally came up with the title ‘Bollywood Wives’ for his upcoming project. He said that Karan Johar and Apoorva Mehta asked him for the title, but when he refused to give it, they tweaked it and made it ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’.
The tweet reads, “Dear @karanjohar U & @apoorvamehta18 had asked me 4 the title #BollywoodWives for web,which I refused,as my project is underway. It is Morally & ethically wrong u to tweak it to #TheFabulousLivesofBollywoodWives. Pls do not dent my project. I humbly request u to change the title.”
