Madhur Bhandarkar requests Karan Johar to change title of his show ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’ for THIS reason

A few days back we had seen the trailer of Netflix’s brand new series ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’. While the trailer received a mixed response from the netizens, looks like Madhur Bhandarkar is not at all happy with the title of this reality series.

Bhandarkar has called out Karan Johar, who is the producer of ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’, and said that it is ethically and morally wrong of him to tweak and use the title ‘Bollywood Wives’ despite his refusal. Bhandarkar took to his Twitter handle to request Karan to not dent his project.

Taking to his Twitter handle Madhur, requesting KJo to change the title of his upcoming web series, wrote, “Dear @karanjoharU & @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(sic).”

Reportedly, back in 2016, Bhandarkar had announced that he will be making a film based on the wives of Bollywood stars. The filmmaker had registered the title ‘Bollywood Wives’ and KJo’s upcoming show is titled ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’. Bhandarkar feels KJo has used his original title by tweaking it a little. He also feels that it is unethical on part of KJo to use his title despite his refusal.

Previously, talking about Madhur’s film a source had told Pinkvilla, “Madhur is currently writing a script based on the star wives and looking forward to translating it to celluloid. The movie will be titled ‘Bollywood Wives’. The script will highlight them in not-so-good light.”

Coming back to, ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives‘, as the name suggests, the show will give a sneak-peek into the lives of four star wives – Neelam Kothari (Samir Soni’s wife), Seema Khan (Sohail Khan‘s wife), Maheep Kapoor (Sanjay Kapoor’s wife) and Bhavana Pandey (Chunky Pandey’s wife).
