Tanushree Dutta has been one of the biggest faces of the #MeToo movement in India. She has fought a lone battle and has never shied away from taking names and telling it like it is. The actress recently talked about refusing to work with a #MeToo-accused director, despite the offer being from a big production house.

Tanushree on refusing to work with a MeeToo accusedRecalling an incident, Tanushree told News18, “What’s needed is for every single actor willing to make a little sacrifice for a cause. In December 2018, I was offered a movie by a very big producer. She has made some of the biggest films. But her director was a #MeToo accused and I promptly refused the opportunity. Who’s losing in this bargain? Me. I haven’t done film work in a long, long time."In the same interview, she talked about receiving an offer from a film director from Kolkata last year and refusing the offer for the same reason. She felt this director too wanted to work with her to whitewash his image after allegations of sexual misconduct.

Tanushree recalls consulting her dadTanushree recalled consulting her father about the offer. “Why did he come to me? He thought that #MeToo ko kaafi time ho gaya hai and that if he casts me in his film, it will give the impression that I’m siding with him. He wanted to change his image through me. If I did that film, it would look like the leader of #MeToo is now supporting an accused. I politely refused. There was an agency involved. I told them that I want to let the film go. I even consulted my dad to get his opinion on the matter and he told me that it wouldn’t be ethically right to take up a film with someone who is an accused,” she added.
