Manoj Bajpayee on Ghooskhor Pandat controversy, “We’ve become a very touchy nation” Netflix has taken the decision to change the title of their upcoming film Ghooskhor Pandat to something far less controversial, and agreeable. This, after days of brutal trolling when Manoj was personally attacked. Speaking on what he calls an unnecessary controversy Manoj said, “We’ve become a very touchy nation. We are always on the brink, ready to blow our fuse, and get personal and abusive at the drop of a hat. The title is being taken care of. ”Incidentally, the film was originally titled Pandat, until someone in director Neeraj Pandey’s team decided that Ghooskhor Pandat was catchier. Ghooskhor Pandat was announced as a part of Netflix’s upcoming slate of projects at a grand event by the streaming giant earlier this month. The film also stars Divya Dutta, Nushrratt Bharuccha, Shraddha Das and Akshay Oberoi.
