After Actor's #MeToo Charge, Bengal Director Says "Was Unintentional" | Read

Bengali filmmaker Arindam Sil, who was suspended by the Directors' Association of Eastern India (DAEI) following a complaint of alleged sexual harassment by an actor, has denied the charges and said what was being construed as misbehaviour was unintentional. He said he never took it that way, and the alleged incident happened during the normal course of shooting in front of people.

Mr Sil is the first big name in the Bengali film industry, also called Tollywood, against whom action has been taken by the DAEI, following a massive #MeToo movement in the Kerala film industry.
