Saif Ali hints at change in creative team

Amidst speculation over the fate of the second season of 'Sacred Games,' lead actor Saif Ali Khan has hinted at a change in the core team behind the Netflix show, which includes Anurag Kashyap and Varun Grover. 

Khan, whose performance as police inspector Sartaj Singh in the show has been widely praised, told PTI on Sunday, "There was a terrible scandal concerning Kevin Spacey and he had a show 'House of Cards,' the show is going on but Spacey is not there. Let that be a clue." 'House of Cards' is also a Netflix production. Netflix has refused to comment on 'Sacred Games' beyond issuing the statement, "At this time we are evaluating options on the path forward."

Netflix's first Indian original series was created by Phantom Films, which hastily shut shop hours last week ahead of a Huffington Post story that claimed that founder-member Anurag Kashyap failed to act on a sexual assault complaint against co-founder Vikas Bahl. 

The allegation was made by a former Phantom employee. The woman in question alleged that she told Kashyap and fellow founder-members Madhu Mantena and Vikramaditya Motwane about the alleged assault. Despite assurances from Kashyap that he would act on the complaint, no action was taken against Bahl, the woman alleged.
