Giving her voice to #MeToo, south siren Amala Paul, who played the lead actress in Susi Ganesan’s last film ‘Thirutupayale 2’, shared that she was subjected to double meaning talks and unchivalrous bodily contacts by the director.
Director Susi Ganesan was accused recently by independent Filmmaker Leena Manimekalai of harassing her. She had shared her story in detail on her social networking page.
Supporting Leena, Amala Paul said, “I support Leena Manimakalai’s allegations and can imagine this episode happening with her, from a man who has 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.”
Sharing her experience with Susi Ganeshan on the sets of ‘Thirutupayale 2’, Amala said, “Me too despite being the lead actress for ‘Thirutupayale 2’ 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,” added Amala Paul.
It may be noted here that Amala Paul is one of the most sought after actress down South. She has acted with many A-list actors and has a handful of movie offers.
