Ever since #MeToo campaign has struck the Bollywood, many eminent actors and filmmakers had paid the price by getting expelled from big projects. Recently, filmmaker Vikas Bahl was accused for sexual harassment by an ex-employee of now dissolved production house, Phantom Films. Lately after the accusations, actor Hrithik Roshan, whose upcoming Super 30 being helmed by Vikas Bahl, took a stand of not working with a person with such allegations and film got stuck mid-way.
Taking stand against the accusations Hrithik shared, âIt is impossible for me to work with any person if he/she is guilty of such grave misconduct. I am away and have access to only sporadic information. I have requested the producers of Super 30 to take stock of the apparent facts and take a harsh stand if need be. This is not to be hushed or brushed under the carpet. All proven offenders must be punished and all exploited people must be empowered and given strength to speak upâ, as per the tweet.
