Shah Rukh Khan's production house Red Chillies issued a statement after Sameer Wankhede filed defamation suit against Aryan Khan's directorial 'Ba***ds of Bollywood'. It called the lawsuit "wholly misconceived, untenable in law, and devoid of merit". Further, it argued that the series is "work of situational satire" and doesn't name or depict Wankhede, nor does it contain any defamatory material.
