Tanushree Dutta, the Bollywood actress, has made new allegations against actor Nana Patekar. Previously, in 2018, she criticised Nana for labeling her accusations of sexual abuse as false in a recent interview. Now, Dutta is accusing him of “criminal intimidation” and “physical harm.”
Iqbal informed that he made contact with Nana Patekar through a Tamil director friend of his. “We haven’t yet decided on the shooting dates. After we sign Nana Patekar, we will sit together with all the parties involved and decide on the shooting schedules,” Iqbal said.
A lot of controversy surrounded Nana Patekar after allegations of sexual abuse were made against him in the wake of the #MeToo movement in India.
A year after the fall of US movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, a flurry of allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior has shaken the Indian media and entertainment industries as the #MeToo movement finally beginning to take shape in the world's largest democracy.
The year-old #MeToo movement has long failed to take root in India, but a Bollywood actress's accusations of sexual harassment appear to be emboldening women to speak out at last.
Nana Patekar, who is known to be rather particular about the way he plays his characters on the big screen, rues the fact that actors in Bollywood films are rarely given the time to think or prepare for a role these days.
