Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association sent show cause notice to Vikas Bahl following sexual harassment allegations!

After the alleged speculations of sexual harassment against Vikas Bahl, the Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association has sent a show-cause notice to the Queen Director seeking his response to these allegations. The notice added that in case Vikas Bahl was unable to revert to the notice within a week’s time, his membership in the IFTDA will be terminated.

Recently, Phantom Films, a joint production house headed by Vikas Bahl, Anurag Kashyap, Madhu Mantena and Vikramaditya Motwane announced news of its dissolution after the survivor came out with a detailed account of the harassment she had faced under Bahl for almost two years.

The woman further added that despite notifying Kashyap and the production house as a whole, Kashyap personally did not do anything to remove Bahl from the production house. Calling the dissolution a “pre-emptive measure”, the woman had even expressed regret for the people who lost their jobs in Phantom and had nothing to do with the issue. When asked about the issue to Super 30 actor Hrithik Roshan, he said “its impossible to work with a person who is guilty of misconduct”.

Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association has issued a show-cause notice to Director #VikasBahl seeking his response to the sexual harassment allegations against him. If he fails to respond in a week’s time , his membership of IFTDA will be terminated.
