"AMALA PAUL INFORMED AN INCIDENT" - #METOO CAMPAIGN

The Me Too campaign was started over a year ago, with many people coming out as victims of sexual harassment and assault. It was promoted as a movement to support the victims. Lately, there have been many developments in this regard and many people have called out to their alleged sexual offenders and taken to their social media pages to share their incidents.

Popular singer and dubbing artiste Chinmayi has been helping many women in bringing out their experiences with harassment in various fields. Her Twitter handle is currently flooded with tweets that are accusations against several people.

Now, actor and president of the Tamil Film Producers' Council, Vishal has spoken in support of the Me Too movement and Chinmayi. He took to Twitter to say:

"It's time, Women in our industry speak up & I wil stand by them. Wil form a committee to protect them

I totally respect @Chinmayi #TanuShreDuta & others. Women should inform us as soon as such incidents happen. @Amala_ams informed 1 such incident & we helped her. #MeToo #TimesUp"

At a time when people were questioning the safety of artistes in the industry, a statement like this from Vishal certainly reassures that measures are being taken to protect the actors and technicians from predators.
