#MeToo movement: Kannada film industry lambastes Chethan for accusing Arjun Sarja

It came to light recently that actress Sruthi Hariharan had accused actor Arjun Sarja of misbehavior. Kannada actor Chethan had then expressed his support towards the actress, but it looks the move did not go down well with the industry folk.
Many members of the Kannada film industry lambasted Chethan and called him an opportunist. A close friend of Arjun, Prashanth Samabaragi who is a film producer revealed that Chethan was dropped from a project which also had Arjun and that this was a form of revenge.Former KFCC president Sa Ra Govindu also didn’t mince his words as the actor questioned his contribution in the film industry. Mr Govindu accused Chethan of being unnecessarily nosy and asked him to stay within his limits.
Meanwhile, Arjun’s father-in-law and actor Rajesh has filed a complaint with the KFCC seeking justice as he feels that his son-in-law’s name is being dragged in the mud for no reason. It looks like the Me Too movement has stirred up a real big storm in Sandalwood at the moment.
