Director
Accused of:
Vikas Bahl was accused of sexual harassment last year by a former
employee of the film collective Phantom Films, for an incident that took
place in 2015 in Goa. Bahl's partners Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya
Motwane came out in support of the allegations, with the former
dissolving their production house Phantom. Post this, actor Kangana
Ranaut also alleged that Bahl used to 'bury his face in her neck' and
'hold her really tight'.
His defence: The filmmaker slapped a legal notice on Anurag Kashyap and Vikamaditya Motwane and accused them of being opportunists. Vikas reportedly stated that the entire case of sexual harassment against him was orchestrated by Anurag and Vikramaditya “as a result of professional jealousy and with the sole intent to defame him, malign his image and destroy his career.”
Current status: Hrithik Roshan has distanced himself from the director who was helming his upcoming film ‘Super 30’.
