Ever since #MeToo campaign has struck the Bollywood, many eminent actors and filmmakers had paid the price by getting expelled from big projects. Recently, filmmaker Vikas Bahl was accused for sexual harassment by an ex-employee of now dissolved production house, Phantom Films. Lately after the accusations, actor Hrithik Roshan, whose upcoming Super 30 being helmed by Vikas Bahl, took a stand of not working with a person with such allegations and film got stuck mid-way.
Taking stand against the accusations Hrithik shared, “It is impossible for me to work with any person if he/she is guilty of such grave misconduct. I am away and have access to only sporadic information. I have requested the producers of Super 30 to take stock of the apparent facts and take a harsh stand if need be. This is not to be hushed or brushed under the carpet. All proven offenders must be punished and all exploited people must be empowered and given strength to speak up”, as per the tweet.

Being the final production of Phantom Films, the company has dissolved due to Bahl's sexual misconduct charges, producer Madhu Mantena who was also a partner with Bahl, Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, is said to convince Hrithik to return so that the remaining work for Super 30 can be completed.
Meanwhile, Vikas recently moved the Bombay High Court against his former Phantom Films partners Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane to restrain them from posting any false #MeTooâ â allegations against him. He had also filed Rs 10 crore defamation suit against them by stating that the statements have been made as a “result of professional jealousy” and with an intent to malign his image and destroy his career.
For the unversed, Super 30 a biopic on the celebrated Maths teacher Anand Kumar from Bihar who tutored students to compete in the prestigious IIT-JEE exams.
