NEW DELHI: 

After Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao issued a joint statement on Wednesday night announcing that they will be ‘stepping away’ from a film because of sexual misconduct allegations against a team member, Mogul producer Bhushan Kumar toldIndian Express that Subhash Kapoor – who is believed to be the person Aamir and Kiran meant in their statement – will no longer direct the film, a biopic of Bhushan Kumar’s father, slain T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar. Neither Mr Kapoor nor Mogul, which Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao were meant to co-produce, have been named in the statement released yesterday by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. Subhash Kapoor also told Indian Express that he respects Mr Khan’s decision and hopes to clear himself in court.

Subhash Kapoor is accused of molesting actor Geetika Tyagi in 2014 and the matter is in court. “It is our foremost duty to make our industry safe for everyone, make an industry that creates environment of equality and a better place to work. With the on-going proceedings against the director that have been brought to our notice, everyone at T-Series has decided to not work with the director,” Bhushan Kumar told Indian Express.

Asked if this meant that Aamir Khan would get back on board again after Subhash Kapoor’s exit, Mr Kumar told the Indian Express, “That I can’t comment now as you can understand from his tweet he has nothing against us but director.”

Subhash Kapoor has essentially named himself as the ‘someone’ in the statement, telling Indian Express: “I understand and respect Aamir Khan’s and Kiran Rao’s decision. Since matter is subjudice, I intend to prove my innocence in the court of law. But I do want to raise a question – is secretly filming a crying woman without her consent and knowledge and uploading it on social media not harassment or abuse? Or is it fine if she is related to someone who is “accused” of a misconduct. If your answer is latter then for me it’s nothing less than a khaap panchayat mentality.”

Quoting Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao’s statement, Geetika Tyagi thanked the couple and wrote, “This is commendable and this is the kind of support we want so that more and more women can come out. Thank you.”

The MeToo movement in India has had a quite a convulsive effect. Many heads rolled as more and more big names were called out. One of those is director Subhash Kapoor, famous for his Jolly LLB series, who has a case of molestation and attempted rape, filed by actor Geetika Tyagi, against him.

The director, who was to helm Aamir Khan starrer Mogul, the biopic of music honcho T Series, has been dropped from the film. What possibly triggered the move was Aamir’s exit from the film in the aftermath of the #MeToo campaign.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Aamir is now back in the project. Quoting a source, the report said, “The script is close to Aamir and he wants to make the film. Bhushan and he have had a number of meetings since and decided to collaborate on Mogul again. The hunt is on for another director. They are also looking at finalising the cast so they can roll with the film, asap.”
