In the wake of the fast gaining momentum of the #MeToo movement, actor Amala Paul has tweeted her support for filmmaker Leena Manimekalai’s allegations against director Susi Ganesan.
Amala Paul was a part of Thiruttu Payale 2, directed by Susi Ganesan.
‘A man who has a twisted set of moral values’
“I support Leena Manimekalai’s allegations and can imagine this episode happening with her, from a man who has a twisted set of moral values and utterly low respect for women. She being an aspiring director could have made her an easy target for such an incidence to take place,” said Amala.
She added that “she was subjected to double meaning talks, misrepresented offers and unchivalrous bodily contacts.”
“This pretty much made my experience of shooting TP2, a mentally fatiguing one. I can totally understand what she could have been subjected through. I applaud her for the courage she showed by narrating her ordeal on a public platform,” she said.
‘Just got the shock of my life’
