New Delhi: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has issued a notice to Balaji Telefilms asking them not to make any adaptation of the Arushi Talwar murder case.
The murdered teenager's mother Nupur Talwar had earlier written to Union Minister Renuka Chaudhury, seeking a ban on filmmakers from making movies or teleserials on her daughter's murder.
Speaking exclusively to CNN-IBN, Rajesh Talwar's sister Vandana Talwar said, “They (channel) are making a mockery of our family tragedy. This is really unfair. They should not increase our tragedy by doing such things. Commercialisation of our tragedy will not be accepted.”
She also appealed that such channels should be “boycotted” by the media and the masses.
There were reports that Balaji Telefilms was planning to incorporate the murder case into the popular serial, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki.
In the serial, the protagonist Parvati's granddaughter will be killed in circumstances similar to Arushi's murder.
However, the production house has denied the reports. They say an honour killing angle is being introduced in the serial, but it has nothing to do with the Arushi case.
Creative Head of Balaji Telefilms, Nivedita Basu told CNN-IBN, “It is all fiction. We have not researched the Arushi case and the plot in our serial is different.”
“We always pick up topical issues for our serials but that does not mean that we are talking about any particular case,” Basu added.
The reports have spawned a debate on whether TV serials and films should be allowed to cash-in on such crimes.
The Scarlette Keeling case is already being made into a Hindi film and recently, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt had expressed interest in making a film on the Neeraj Grover murder case.
