TheWrap reports that Kal Penn stars as Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, the doctor who wrote Smith’s prescriptions and was later scrutinized in the media . TheWrap reports that the film depicts Dr. Kapoor as having made mistakes but not being a bad guy, portraying him with an off‑putting and unconvincing attitude . TheWrap reports that Kapoor became tabloid fodder and was put on trial alongside others after Smith’s death .

Why it matters. TheWrap suggests that the film’s unconvincing portrayal may shape public perception of the physician’s role in Smith’s death .
