Often we see female actors complaining about the directors and actors forcing them to act in intimate scenes. But for a change, a man has accused a female director of tricking him to act in a porn role for the web series.
Director Lakshmi Deepta has recently been arrested by the Aruvkkara police over allegations that a young man was coerced into acting in an adult web series. The complainant, a 26-year-old from Venganoor, claimed that he was promised the lead role in an upcoming film but was instead pressured into signing a contract that involved participating in sexually explicit scenes for the web series.
Deepta is currently out on bail, but with strict conditions. The incident has caused concern and outrage, with many calling for better protection for aspiring actors in the film industry. According to reports, another woman from Malappuram has come forward with similar allegations against the same director who was recently arrested for coercing a young man to act in an adult web series.
The woman claimed that she too was tricked into signing a contract that involved performing sexual acts on camera, and that the police were initially reluctant to register her complaint. This case has sparked a wider conversation about the need for stronger protections for individuals, particularly women, who aspire to work in the film industry. The director has been granted bail, but the investigation is ongoing.
