Director Indra Kumar reacts to sexual assault allegations against Rajkumar Hirani: ‘Hope truth comes out soon’
Total Dhamaal filmmaker Indra Kumar spoke in favour of Rajkumar Hirani in the wake of the sexual harassment allegations made against him and said that he was extremely shocked that such a renowned director and gentleman has been pulled into the Me Too Movement.
In a conversation with Mumbai Mirror, Indra Kumar said, “I am very shocked, that a gentleman like Rajkumar Hirani has been pulled into the #MeToo movement. I hope that the truth comes out soon. We shouldn't pass judgements at this point."
Producer Boney Kapoor also reacted to the sexual assault allegations against Sanju director. "I don't believe this allegation. He can never do something like this”, Boney Kapoor was quoted as saying to ANI.
Meanwhile, when Emraan Hashmi was asked to comment on the allegations against the director, the Why Cheat India actor neatly dodged the question and said that it is "just" an allegation and it that nothing has been proven as of now. Emraan told ANI: "I don''t want to comment on this. It's just an allegation. Nothing has been proved as of yet. The director has already dismissed the allegations. Till the time something is not proven, I don't think it right to comment on this."
Rajkumar Hirani was implicated in sexual harassment allegations in a #MeToo account by a co-worker at his production house Rajkumar Hirani Films Private Limited, who has alleged that the filmmaker abused her over a period of six months, between March and September 2018, during the filming of Sanju. Apart from Indra Kumar and Boney Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, Dia Mirza and Arshad Warsi have also defended Rajkumar Hirani.
