We are still growing up to #MeToo movement: Kashyap

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who is embroiled in a legal battle with his former partner and director Vikas Bahl, Thursday said the #MeToo movement has given voice to years of anger.

Bahl has been accused of sexual harassment by an employee of the now-dissolved Phantom Films, the company that was founded by Kashyap, Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena.

Kashyap and director Motwane have been under fire for the alleged inaction in the sexual harassment allegations against Bahl. Both Kashyap and Motwane have denied the charge.

Kashyap, in an interview to PTI, said there is a need to understand and grow up to the movement, which has taken the industry by storm.

Here are the excerpts of the interview:
Q. What would you like to say in general about the movement?
Q. What is your priority? Is it justice for the victim?
Q. Tanushree Dutta and Vinta Nanda are the only ones who have taken legal action but not many women have followed a similar route. Your comment?
