The recent Telugu film, directed by Ravikanth Perepu, has hit the streaming giant Netflix recently skipping a theatrical release. Netflix India has courted controversy after the film a male character named Krishna having sexual encounters with several women and one of them being named Radha.

Enough is enough. @NetflixIndia is no longer a streaming service but a white-listed p**n platform targeted against the faith of millions of Indians. It's time the content on Netflix is regulated. @rsprasad @TRAI @DoT_India #KrishnaAndHisLeelaOnNetflix— Madhav Agarwal (@madhav_agar) June 29, 2020
