Netflix announced on Tuesday that it will add new disclaimers to the Indian series about a plane hijacking after facing social media backlash and government concern over depicting Muslim hijackers as Hindus. The show, titled “IC-814: The Kandahar Hijack,” is a fictionalized account of the 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines flight 814. After its release last week, it was criticized for inaccurately portraying the hijackers as Hindus with Hindu names, despite them being Muslim in reality.

Local media reported that Netflix officials were summoned by India’s information and broadcasting ministry on Tuesday, leading the streaming platform to announce that the opening disclaimer would be updated to clarify the real and code names of the hijackers. There was no comment from the government.

The hashtag #BoycottNetflix trended on X over the weekend, as both social media users and members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized the series for allegedly portraying the hijackers in a favorable light and misleading viewers to believe they were Hindus. BJP’s social media head, Amit Malviya, accused the show of legitimizing the actions of the hijackers and misrepresenting their identities.

India has blamed Pakistan and militant groups based there for the 1999 hijacking, which ended after India released three Islamist militants, including Masood Azhar. The series, released almost 25 years after the event, stars actors Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma, and Pankaj Kapur, and is based on the book “Flight into Fear” by flight captain Devi Sharan and journalist Srinjoy Chowdhury.

In the past, Netflix and other platforms like Amazon Prime Video have faced complaints, particularly from Hindu groups, accusing them of producing content that offends the religious sentiments of India’s majority population.
