Mukesh Chabbra is all set to for his directorial debut with Kizie Aur Manny starring Sushant Singh Rajput and debutant Sanjana Sanghi. According to reports, there was an incident of alleged sexual harassment on the set, and the director was not able to support the victim. Earlier, as a casting director Mukesh Chabbra has also been accused of harassing an actress during a meeting.
And, according to the sources of Bollywood Bubble, some similar incident happened on the sets of Kizie Aur Manny where actor Sushant Singh Rajput allegedly made his co-star Sanjana Sanghi feel very uncomfortable.
The film is currently being shot at Jamshedpur and from the city Bollywood Bubble’s sources shared, “Sushant made his female co-star very uncomfortable on the sets. He would often invade her personal space and would pass flirtatious comments. His overtly friendly nature had the actress report the matter to Mukesh Sir, who brushed it away as usual behaviour seen in the industry.”
“The next day the actress’ parents too came to the sets to speak to the director about the sexual harassment their daughter was facing on the film sets. Their complaints and concerns too were laughed off by the film maker, who instead asked them to keep a strong gut if their daughter was expecting to have a long run in showbiz,” the sources further added.
Kizie Aur Manny is rumoured to be a remake of Hollywood blockbuster ‘Fault In Our Stars’. Sanjana Sanghi, will be making her Bollywood debut with this film. Mukesh was in news as an aspiring actress accused him of having grabbed her hard and feeling her up during auditions, and the other opened up saying he asked her to compromise while on a phone conversation.
