After the Hema Committee report came out, many female artists came forward and exposed the dark truth of the industry. These female artists raised their voice against the influential celebs of Mollywood and revealed the misbehavior with them. Filmmaker Ranjit is also facing serious allegations in this case and now his troubles have been increased by a male actor. This actor has accused the filmmaker of sexual harassment and has also filed a complaint against him.

Male actor mistreated on pretext of audition

According to news agency ANI, the victim actor told that Ranjit had called her to a hotel in Bangalore on the pretext of giving an audition. But, instead of taking the audition there, she was beaten and molested. Ranjit asked her to remove all her clothes and then beat her up. The victim first thought that she had been called for an audition, but later she realized the whole situation.

Male actor made serious allegations against Ranjit

Not only this, the victim has also claimed that the next day of the incident, Ranjit also offered him money to keep quiet. Describing what happened to him during that time, the male actor claimed- "When Ranjit asked me to stand naked, he was talking to an actress. I have already told the name of that actress- Revathi. Ranjit told me that it was Revathi. I don't know if there is any relationship between Ranjit and Revathi or not, but Ranjit took my pictures and sent them to me."

Another complaint against Ranjit

Earlier this week, another FIR was filed against Ranjith for sexually harassing a Bengali actress during the auditions of his 2009 film Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirkolapathakathinte Katha. After this, recently Kerala Police has registered a case against filmmaker Ranjith based on the complaint of an actress. The investigation team recorded the statement of the complainant yesterday.
