Watch: How Vidhu Vinod Chopra REACTS after being asked to comment on Rajkumar Hirani’s #MeToo charges

After Tanushree Dutta began the #MeToo movement as she accused Nana Patekar of sexual harassment, many Bollywood celebs including Subhash Ghai, Sajid Khan, Alok Nath and many others were in the alleged offenders’ list. The latest person who has been accused of misconduct is filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani.

Rajkumar Hirani was accused of sexual misconduct by an assistant director of his 2018 directorial ‘Sanju’. Following the allegations, Vidhu Vinod Chopra dropped Rajkumar Hirani’s name as the producer of his upcoming film ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’. Later, Vidhu Vinod Chopra had also asked the victim to take legal action.

However, during a press conference for ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ on Monday, producer Chopra was seen dodging the question. Notably, when Vidhu Vinod Chopra was asked to react on the accusations on Rajkumar Hirani, the producer dodged the question saying that they have come here for another purpose and he will speak on the issue at the right time.

He went on to say that they have gathered to promote the film which is as important as the question he has been asked but it is not the right platform. Check out the video here:

In the meantime, the allegations of sexual assault against Rajkumar Hirani have sent Bollywood into a shock. From Dia Mirza to Amardeep Jha to Arshad Warsi to Sharman Joshi, everyone has expressed their views on the matter and stood with Rajkumar Hirani. Also, Hirani denied the charges and said that the accusations have been made to malign his reputation.
