Manoj Bajpayee shared that after his Netflix film Ghooskhor Pandat was announced, he got death threats and saw a wave of online trolling.

The original title referred to a Delhi Police officer called Pandat, not meant to offend anyone.
The backlash led Bajpayee to call out harsh online criticism from even old supporters, sparking fresh conversations about trolling and freedom of expression.
