The release of the teaser for Huma Qureshi's web series, Maharani (Season 3), sparked controversy in Jammu and Kashmir. Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah criticised the use of the legislative assembly for TV drama shoots, highlighting the assembly's closure since 2018. The web series, produced by Kangra Talkies, explores Bihar's political landscape in the 1990s. The Jammu and Kashmir government defended the shoot, emphasizing proper permissions. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta countered criticism, asserting the right to film in public places. Despite official responses, controversy persisted, with political figures denouncing the insensitivity of using the assembly for entertainment. While India lacks precedent for filming in legislative bodies, the Jammu and Kashmir assembly set a unique record. The assembly is slated for possible reopening after the upcoming elections, transitioning to a Union Territory with altered dynamics.
