The #MeToo movement in Bollywood seems to be gaining momentum with each passing day. After Alok Nath, Subhash Ghai and Luv Ranjan, filmmaker Sajid Khan is facing harassment charges. A journalist accused Sajid of sexual harassment on October 11 and the news has left everyone in shock.
Sajid, who was directing ‘Housefull 4’, has now stepped down from his post and has asked people not to pass judgements until the truth is out.
The filmmaker took to Twitter and wrote, “In the wake of the allegations against me & the pressure being put on my family, my producer n the stars of my film Houseful 4, i must take the moral responsibility of stepping down from my directorial post, till the time i can allay the allegations and prove the truth.. I request my friends in the media to kindly not pass judgement till the truth is out”
