Mukesh denies #MeToo accusations

Actor Mukesh has categorically denied the allegations levelled against him by casting director Tess Joseph. He does not know Tess and does not remember such an incident, Mukesh told media today. He also said that someone else might have called Tess, and it could be a misunderstanding. The quiz director Derek O'Brien treated him with respect and even contacted him ten years back when he came to Kerala, Mukesh says.
Tess Joseph had revealed on her twitter page that Mukesh had called her hotel room multiple times during the shoot of Kodeeswaran, in 2000, and had made the hotel staff change her room to the one next to his.It was Derek O'Brien who listened to her and helped her escape, she had said.
