Netflix has released the trailer before airing the web series which is about Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Subrata Roy and Ramalinga Raju. “What would you do to make it to the top? To build an empire? To maintain an image? Bad Boy Billionaires answers just that. Dive into the stories of India’s most infamous billionaires – Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Subrata Roy, and Byrraju Ramalinga Raju as they plan, plot and maneuver through their rises and falls. Watch as insiders and experts discuss what made these men genius and, in some cases, the greatest conmen,” reads the description by Netflix. Satyam Computers founder B Ramalinga Raju on Friday said he did not give any consent to Netflix to make a documentary film on him.
According to him, it was Minnow Films and its representatives who obtained some photographs and documents from him and made him believe that they were making a documentary on India’s economic boom and its billionaires. Senior counsel S Niranjan Reddy said in the high court that Raju was never informed that they were doing all this for Netflix. “It was only after seeing the teaser that we came to know that they made the series with a title ‘Bad Boy Billionaires’ and used phrases like fraud and greed against Raju,” he said while arguing for Raju and for restraining Netflix from releasing the episode on Raju. The bench posted the case to November 20 to hear the version of Netflix. Following an urgent plea from Raju, it can be recalled a civil court in Hyderabad had stopped the release of the episode on September 4. Netflix approached the high court urging it to vacate the restraint order and allow it to air the episode.
