The production house revealed that it had obtained reliable evidence that some people had been requesting money in exchange for not posting negative content online.
According to the production house, constructive criticism is essential for filmmakers' growth and industry development.
“We are firm supporters of the freedom of speech and expression as enshrined in the Constitution of India. We have never objected — and will never object — to fair criticism or reviews of our films. On the contrary, we believe that constructive criticism is essential for helping filmmakers grow and for fostering the healthy development of the industry,” the statement read.
It added that they have come across evidence, including call recordings, “indicating that a few individuals were demanding money and threatening to malign the reputation of our films, directors, and lead actors if their demands were not met.”
NGE considers such behaviour to warrant investigation by appropriate authorities. They have referred the case to the appropriate investigative bodies for legal action, emphasising their commitment to addressing these malicious practices.
“We wish to emphasise that these actions are directed solely at those engaging in such malicious practices and not at any genuine, independent reviewers or YouTubers. We value honest work and wholeheartedly welcome their contributions to the healthy progress of the film industry,” it added.
Started by AK Nadiadwala in 1992, NGE is a well-known film production house that has produced numerous blockbuster films, including Judwaa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Heyy Babyy, Housefull franchise, Baaghi and Kick.
