Aamir Khan Returns Back To 'Mogul' After Director Subhash Kapoor's Exit From The Film?
If the latest reports are to be believed then Aamir Khan is back on board for Gulshan Kumar biopic Mogul post Subhash Kapoor's exit from the project.
When the #MeToo movement gained momentum in Bollywood with several horrific stories of sexual harassment emerging from the industry, Aamir Khan took a strong stand in support of these survivors. He walked out of Gulshan Kumar biopic, Mogul which he was was co-producing with Bhushan Kumar, over alleged sexual misconduct charges against the film's director Subhash Kapoor.
The superstar and his wife Kiran Rao issued a strong statement that read, "As creative people, we have been committed to foregrounding and finding solutions to social issues, and at Aamir Khan Productions we have always had a zero tolerance policy towards sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour of any kind. We strongly condemn any act of sexual harassment, and equally we condemn any and all false accusations in such cases."
However now, if the latest reports are to be believed then Aamir is back on board post Subhash Kapoor's exit from the project.
Earlier, Aamir Had Opted Out Of Mogul
In his statement, Khan had mentioned, "We do not want our action to reflect in any manner on the people involved in this case. We believe that this is an opportunity for the film industry to introspect and take concrete steps towards change. For too long, women have faced the brunt of sexual exploitation. It has to stop. In this regard, we are committed to doing any and everything to make our film industry a safe and happy one to work in."
Subhash Kapoor's Reply
In turn, the filmmaker had tweeted, "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."
Later, T-series head honcho Bhushan Kumar too decided not to work with the director.
