#MeToo accused offered a film to Tanushree Dutta, actress refused

Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta has been missing from the silver screen for a long time. The actress has worked in films like Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Dhol, and Good Boy Bad Boy. Tanushree Dutta became the face of the #MeToo movement in India five years ago and has been vocal about the abuse she faced ever since. Meanwhile, Tanushree Dutta revealed that she was offered a project by a MeToo accused, in which he said that he wanted to brighten his image by working with her.

Tanushree Dutta is looking for a film

Let us tell you that in her latest interview, Tanushree Dutta told that she refused to work on this project because she did not want to set a wrong example. Talking about paying the price for being vocal, Tanushree Dutta said, "What is needed is that every actor should be ready to sacrifice a little for an issue. In December 2018, I was offered a film by a very big producer. He has made some great films. But his director was accused of #MeToo and I immediately rejected the opportunity. Tanushree further said, "It has been many years since I have been working in films. I only do events. I want to do films, but no offers are coming. A few years ago I did a film, but I was targeted on the sets of the film and my project was harmed."

When a #MeToo director offered Tanushree Dutta a film

Tanushree Dutta further said that last year also she got an offer from a film director from Kolkata. Tanushree said, "I got another offer. It was a Bengali film. I liked its story very much. After listening to the story, I put some conditions in front of him. He agreed to my conditions. I was happy. I thought that with this film I could make a comeback in the Bengali film industry, but after a week I came to know that his name also came up during #MeToo. She rejected it for the same reason. She feels that the director wanted to work with her to brighten his image after the allegations of sexual misconduct.

In 2008, Tanushree Dutta had accused Nana Patekar of sexual harassment

Tanushree Dutta said, "Why did he come to me? He felt that it has been a long time since #MeToo and if he casts me in his film, it will give the impression that I stand with him. He wanted to change his image through me. If I did that film, it would seem that the leader of #MeToo is now supporting an accused. I politely refused. An agency was involved in this. I told them that I want to let the film go. I also consulted my father on this matter to know his opinion and he told me that it would not be morally right to do a film with someone who is an accused". Tanushree said that she sacrificed when she needed work. Now, she hopes that others can also show such honesty and work towards bringing about change. Let us tell you that Tanushree Dutta had accused Nana Patekar of sexual harassment on the sets of Horn OK Please in 2008. She faced political backlash and criticism from artists in the Indian film industry, while Nana Patekar denied the allegations.
