Actor Amala Paul has come out in solidarity to the MeToo movement and released a statement against director Susi Ganesan, with whom she had worked in the film Thiruttupayale 2.
On 16 October, filmmaker and author Leena Manimekalai posted a statement on Facebook describing a harrowing experience in which she was locked in a car by director Susi Ganesan. Leena alleged that it was only after she threatened to harm herself with a pocket knife that she let go of, after 45 minutes.
Barely a few hours after she tweeted against Susi Ganesan, Amala again accused him and his wife of slut shaming her.
While Amala Paul was mum when playback singer Chinmayi came out against lyricist Vairamuthu, breaking out the movement in Kollywood, she tweeted for the first time around the end of Durga Puja celebrations.
