South Actress Shalu Shamu Claims A Famous Director Asks Her To Sleep With For A Role

Last year, Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta’s accusations of sexual harassment against Nana Patekar had brought opportunities to many other actresses to open up about their horrible experience of sexual misconduct at the workplace.

Recently, South actress Shalu Shamu also joined the movement as she decided to come out and share her story to the whole world.

Shalu Shamu, who last appeared in Sivkarthikeyan's Mr. Local, claimed that one famous director had asked for sexual favors in exchange of giving her a role in the Vijay Deverakonda starrer upcoming movie.

Shalu Shamu’s allegations have come as a shock to other celebrities and her fans, who are now wondering about the name of the director who approached her to sleep with him for a role in a big project.

In case you don't know, Shalu Shamu is not the only South actress who took the courage to speak up.

Just recently, Revathy Sampath broke the silence and shared her own story on social media. In a Facebook post, Revathy accused Malayalam star Siddique of sexually harassing her.

In 2018, the MeToo movement strengthened in the Indian entertainment industry. Lots of big names faced allegations of sexual harassment and rape such as Rajkummar Hirani, Alok Nath, Sajid Khan, Subhash Ghai, Vikas Bahl, Kailash Kher, Rajat Kapoor, and many others.

However, some of them including director Vikas Bahl and actor Alok Nath have been given a clean chit by the authorities. Notably, Bollywood music director Anu Malik, who received accusations of sexual misconduct to some singers and actresses, will be soon coming back to Indian Idol.
