Netflix's reality-based show 'The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives' trailer was released last Friday and became the talk of the town. The show gives a sneak peek into the lives of four wives of Bollywood actors and best friends Seema Khan who is the wife of Sohail Khan, Maheep Kapoor wife of Sanjay Kapoor, Chunky Panday's wife Bhavana Panday and Neelam Kothari Soni who is a famous actress and wife of Samir Soni. The show looks quite promising and takes us directly into the life of glitz and glamor of these four wives. But it seems like the show is in trouble over its title as filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is not happy with the show title. As the filmmaker is working on a project with a similar name.

Madhur Bhandarkar took to his Twitter and mentioned that Karan Johar and Aproova Mehta who are producing this show have asked him for the Bollywood Wives title but Madhur declined the offer. Later on, the filmmakers tweaked the show title into 'The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives' which hurt Madhur's sentiments. While expressing disappointment and calling Karan and Aproova's act morally and ethically wrong, Madhur tweeted, `Dear @karanjohar U & @apoorvamehta18 had asked me 4 the title #BollywoodWives for web, which I refused, as my project is underway. It is Morally & ethically wrong u to tweak it to #TheFabulousLivesofBollywoodWives. Pls do not dent my project. I humbly request u to change the title.` Check out his tweet here -



In the trailer, we had some glimpses of Shah Rukh Khan, his wife Gauri Khan, Bhavana's daughter Ananya Panday, Sanjay, Chunky, and Samir in guest roles. Well, the show is all about how these four rich wives who can be seen enjoying their high-standard lavish lives while coping with the ups and downs of parenthood, personal, professional life, and friendship. The show will premiere on November 27, on Netflix.

On the other side, if we talk about Madhur Bhandarkar's work then his last directorial project was Indu Sarkar (2017) starring Kriti Kulhari, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Anupam Kher and Manav Vij.
