Actress Niharica Raizada feels that the ongoing #MeToo movement in India have started showing negative repercussions in the film industry.

Niharica Raizada was interacting with media to promote her forthcoming film ‘Total Dhamaal’ in Mumbai.

After Tanushree Dutta’s sexual harassment allegations against veteran actor Nana Patekar, #MeToo movement gained momentum in India. Recently the movement brought out more stories of sexual misconduct cases in the media and the entertainment industry including charges against Sajid Khan, Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl and more.

When asked to comment on the same, Niharica said that the #MeToo movement has become so big that now it have started to show bad repercussions of it along with the good. Unknown actors are not getting the chance to work because producers and directors are feeling scared. They have started thinking that the actors may come out in future and say something negative even if they don’t mean to harm them. Because of all the clutter, it is hard to tell who is telling the truth and who is defaming someone for revenge or fame.

Talking about the right way to go if anyone feels exploited, Niharica said that it should be between the police, the court and the people involved. It shouldn’t become media hype or a publicity fiasco. Justice should be served for the people who have actually being exploited. Everyone should get work on their merit, qualities, caliber and X-factor not sex factor.

Indra Kumar’s ‘Total Dhamaal’, features Niharica Raizada, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Ajay Devgan, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and others in key roles.

Presented by Fox Star Studios, ‘Total Dhamaal’ is produced by Ajay Devgn Films, Ashok Thakeria, Markand Adhikari, Anand Pandit and Fox Star Studios.

The film is scheduled to release in February 2018.
