#MeToo Kollywood: Arjun To Vairamuthu: Prominent Personalities Accused Of Misconduct

There's no denying the fact that the #MeToo movement has arrived in India in a big way. Over the past few days, several women have been naming and shaming sexual predators in a bid to make the workplace free from harassment and abuse. The movement has affected the media world as well as the film fraternity. The movement picked up big time in Bollywood when Tanushree Dutta opened up about how she was allegedly harassed by Nana Patekar on the sets of a film.

Thereafter, it reached the Tamil and Kannada film industries as well. With #MeToo in full swing, here is a look at some of the prominent personalities who have been accused of harassment/inappropriate behaviour.
