Of
lately,
Kerala
was
shocked
after
the
news
of
the
ace
filmmaker
and
Kerala
State
Chalchithra
Academy
Chairman
Kamal
being
accused
of
sexual
harassment
surfaced.
The
serious
allegations
were
made
by
a
young
actress
of
Mollywood,
who
complained
that
he
had
promised
the
lead
role
in
his
next
venture,
Pranaya
Meenukalude
Kadal
in
return
for
the
disgraceful
act.
She
also
claimed
that
Kamal
took
her
to
a
flat
and
abused
her,
and
added
that
the
account
had
taken
place
during
the
shoot
of
Ami,
starring
Manju
Warrier.
Well,
responding
to
the
reports,
Kamal
has
rubbished
all
allegations
against
him
and
has
called
it
a
mere
cooked
up
story.
Calling
it
baseless,
he
added
that
there
is
a
clear
conspiracy
behind
the
allegation,
and
suspects
an
employee
who
was
expelled
from
the
Chalchitra
academy
behind
it.
He
has
also
said
to
have
received
a
legal
notice
from
the
actress
a
year
back
and
he
informed
his
advocate
about
the
same.Kamal
said
that
the
advocate
had
advised
him
to
wait
until
a
follow-up
action
comes
from
the
other
party.
In
an
interview
with
TOI,
Kamal
was
quoted
saying,
"This
is
a
baseless
allegation.
It
is
true
that
I
had
received
a
legal
notice,
a
year
ago.
When
I
contacted
my
advocate,
he
said
since
it
was
a
false
allegation,
I
needed
to
wait
for
follow-up
action
from
the
other
party.
That
did
not
happen
and
so
I
ignored
it.
I
suspect
a
former
employee
of
Chalachitra
Academy
is
behind
bringing
this
up
now.
He
had
quit
his
position
due
to
some
internal
conflicts.
Only
my
advocate
and
the
former
employee
knew
about
the
legal
notice
that
was
received
a
year
ago.
However,
I
do
not
have
enough
evidence
to
prove
that
he
is
behind
it,
at
the
moment."
He
alleged
that
this
case
is
intended
to
defame
him
personally
and
as
the
chairman
of
the
prestigious
Chalchitra
academy.
Talking
about
the
Malayalam
channel
that
unveiled
the
news
about
the
same,
he
said
that
the
politically
biased
channel
was
trying
to
defame
him
citing
his
religion.
