After Kangana Ranaut, Hansal Mehta,
Nandita Das, Sonam Kapoor and Anurag
Kashyap, Rajkummar Rao has now come
out against Queen director Vikas Bahl.
Allegations of sexual assault against the
director had surfaced in 2017, but it wasn't
until recently that an employee of Phantom
accused the director-producer of sexually
harassing her. This incident was
corroborated by director Anurag Kashyap
who was an equal partner at the
production house Phantom that was
recently dissolved.
While Kangana Ranaut also shared a Me Too
account that involved Vikas, her costar from
Queen, Rajkummar Rao has said in an
interview with Huffington post that what
has happened was very unfortunate. The
actor said, "It's very shocking and sad. What
happened was very unfortunate. I strongly
condemn whatever is going on. What is
wrong is wrong.
"We as an industry should come together to
protect everyone, be it men or women,
against any kind of harassment, and I hope
and pray that God will give strength to that
girl to come out of it even stronger.
He also added that the industry needed to
come together to make it safer for women,
"We have to address the safety of women
and that is of utmost importance right now,
I would love to work only with people with
ethics and the right moral conduct.
Actor Hrithik Roshan, who worked with
Vikas on the yet to release Super 30 also
released a statement on Twitter and said
that action needed to be taken against such
claims. He had written, "It 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.
