On March 19, filmmaker and “Georgian Dream” supporter Goga Khaindrava filed a lawsuit against Formula TV, seeking 10,000 GEL in compensation for moral damages. The lawsuit also demands a retraction of information aired on “Shabatis Formula” (Saturday Formula), which he claims contained “essentially false facts that defame the plaintiff’s name, honor, and dignity.”

According to MediaChecker, the lawsuit concerns two segments aired on Formula TV on December 20, 2025, and January 17, 2026. The December 20 report, titled “From Apology to Forgiveness: The Dream’s Chief Ideologist’s Film – Why is Goga Khaindrava Being Paid a Million,” focuses on fraudulent call centers. According to Formula TV, Khaindrava is behind the fraudulent scheme. The January 17 segment, “The Director Turned Dream Propagandist – Did Goga Khaindrava Bring Foreign Citizens into Georgia in Exchange for Money,” concerns the alleged entry of Indian and Pakistani citizens into Georgia facilitated by Khaindrava for payment.

Goga Khaindrava has labeled both reports as false and defamatory.

Notably, after the segments about Khaindrava were aired, the program’s host, Davit Kashiashvili, received a threatening message from an unidentified individual.
