Surender Mohan Pathak one of the top Hindi Fiction writers is being seen very angry at the second season of Mirzapur. In the third episode of the Amazon Prime video series, it has been noted that Kulbhushan Kharbanda's character is seen reading Pathak's novel, Dhabba, as the annotation delineate an erotic scene. it is being said that the content shown in the series with annotation is dramatically different from the aboriginal content of Dhabba.

Pathak says, "I am waiting for their response to my notice. If I don't hear from them within the stipulated period of one week, I'll file a case in Delhi HC against the makers of Mirzapur 2".

The author known for his crime fiction series said he was unaware of the fact until and unless his fans brought it to his notice. Pathak says, "When the complaints starting pouring in, my daughter showed me the scene. The makers added their own filthy, disgusting as a voiceover and passed it off as the content of my novel, which was published 10 years ago. They used cheap porn to titillate the viewers and to tarnish my image as a well-established mystery writer. In the voiceover, a character named Baldev Raj is mentioned: there is no such character in Dhabba. Many readers who haven't read the novel, could get the wrong impression that the author, in his old age, has lost his mind and restored to writing pornography to gain publicity. I consider it a conspiracy to defame me."

The novel emphasizes in another scene of the second episode, where Rashika Dugal's character takes charge of her life after suffering from sexual abuse and battling suicidal thoughts. One might argue it's a powerful scene that establishes the importance of women characters in a largely male-driven plot.

"I have written 270 mystery novels and thrillers in the past six decades, and they have gained immense popularity due to thier gripping storyline and my distinctive style of writting. Never have I depicted violence and sex in graphic detail in any of my work", Says Pathak.
