Bunny aks Allu Arjun has reached out to woman choreographer who was viction of choreographer Jani who sexually abused her. He had asked Jhansi who heads the TFI panel to probe the harassment case to convey to the woman choreographer. Reports say that Jani is shooting in Ladakh for a film and no further details are available. It emerges that Jani's wife was an accomplice and it was she who had asked the victim to convert to Islam and marry her hubby. Following All Arjun, more actors are likely to follow suit.
This move has been in contrast to where other actors gang up to isolate the victim as seen in other language industries. Jani belonged to Jana Sena of Pawan Kalyan and he has been since been expelled. Now that Allu Arjun and his uncle Pawan Kalyan had some difference during the last poll campaign, will help to Jani's victim be seen in a different light ? It seems that KCR ministry had constituted a panel to probe into the allegations raised by Sri Reddy She created a storm by doing a public protest in semi nude. The panel was set up after the Women and Transgender People Organisations Joint Action Committee (WT-JAC) filed a PIL in the High Court of Telangana. It had lot of people from film industry and the panel held several meetings ranging fro junior actors to actresses in film and TV sector. It submitted a report “Sexual Harassment and Gender Discrimination in the Telugu Film and Television Industries”.
This happened in June 2022 and KCR has gone and given way to Revanth ministry. Like the Hema report was made public after a journalist moved a PIL, it is time that the report lying with Telangana Government sees light. Jhanis who is probing Jani case was part of the sub-committee that probed woman harassment in Tollywood.
Poonam Kaur had come out with an old complaint that she gave to MAA about Director Trivikram and nobody took any action. In reply, Thammi Bharadwaj of TFC says that there is a box kept in the Film Chamber and it could have been used. An audio tape in which Kaur was blasting Pawan Kalyan m Trivikram and many actresses went public. She denied that she was behind it. Trivikram on the other hand is said to busy with launching his son.
During Bigg Boss Tamil last season, one of the contestants Vichithra recalled the days she stayed at a resort in Kerala for a Telugu film with Balkrishna as hero. She spoke about the open invitation from Balayaa to come to her room in the night and after her refusal, she was harassed by the other men in the film unit. She complained to then Nadigar Sangham Chief Vijaykanth. It happened sometime in 2000.
