Netflix said in a statement: "We're disappointed to not move forward with Midnight's Children, one of the world's great novels. This was an inherently complex book to adapt and a really ambitious project and ultimately we couldn't bring the story to life in the scale and manner it deserved. We're grateful to Vishal Bhardwaj for his amazing vision and craft as we strove to adapt this pioneering work of literature. We look forward to working with him on other projects in the future."
