Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan’s Super 30 has been mired in
controversies since Day 1- from the director of the film Vikas Bahl being blamed
in Me Too, to the movie’s release date getting postponed and after all the setbacks,
finally, the movie will see the light of the day as it will hit the screens on
July 12, 2019. Now, Vikas Bahl has been cleared of all sexual misconduct allegations.
Lately, during a media chat, Hrithik Roshan opened up about
Vikas' sexual harassment allegations and disclosed that he was the first to
take a tough stand for the movie. Hrithik revealed, “Yes, the journey of Super
30 has been tough, but I would like to believe that it is worth it. When the
#MeToo movement broke out and Vikas’ name cropped up, I was perhaps the first
one to take a rather tough stand. I completely support this movement and I
sincerely believe that exploitative attitude towards women must stop. Also, if
you think that this movement is the last step in achieving equality, then
perhaps you are wrong. The pendulum of biases and injustice on both sides is
going to swing back and forth quite a few times before it centers and comes to
a standstill.”
Not just this, Hrithik said that the Me Too movement should
be based not on social media tittle-tattle but it should be law abiding. “It’s
important that we don’t make this process independent of law, and purely based
on social media/conventional media hearsay. Let not the rhetoric becomes the
mantra. Like everything else, this movement also has to follow the law of the
land. Charges have to be pressed and substantiated in the proper manner. I may
feel strongly about something, but we cannot take the law in our hands and dole
out mob justice. Since a designated ICC committee has exonerated Vikas, we are
not in a position to take away his credit,” told Hrithik.
