Earlier this week, a movie producer and director filed a complaint alleging that they had been receiving threatening calls over a scene that apparently show Dawood in bad light in their project, Coffee with D.

The film revolves around a journalist played by Sunil Grover who interviews Dawood Ibrahim.

Mishra said that while Bollywood films have glorified Dawood, ‘Coffee with D’ pokes fun at him.
