Prime Video responds to Shekhar Kapur allegations on Bandit Queen

Popular controversial film of the 90s Bandit Queen started steaming on Amazon Prime Video. However, director Sekhar Kapur expressed his unhappiness saying “I wonder @IAmSudhirMishra if OTT platforms would let me make #BanditQueen the way I made it years ago. The Bandit Queen on #AmazonPrime is unrecognisable from my film. Someone has cut it beyond recognition. And yet it carries my name as Director. And no one asked me! Are we lesser beings than Western Directors? Would they have the guts to cut a Chris Nolan film without his permission? (sic),”

But Prime Video, responded "Prime Video has not made any edits to the version of the film Bandit Queen currently streaming on the service. The version available on Prime Video is the version provided by the film’s distributor, NH Studioz,”

Bandit Queen is the biopic on dreaded bandit Phoolan Devi and it featured Seema Biswas in the lead role. The film won the national award for the best film in1995.
