According to a report published in NDTV, Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh has officially said that UP team will investigate the case in Mumbai. “We have received a complaint over Tandav. We will take action according to the law. Since it is an OTT film, the Central government must be bringing in laws so that social fault lines are not created,” he told the media.
