It seems that the 'sexual harassment' allegation on the founder of TVF channel Arunabh Kumar, is going to cost the channel a lot. Reportedly, after Raveena got to know about the allegations placed on Arunabh Kumar, she has cancelled plans to promote her upcoming movie "Maatr - The Mother" on The Viral Fever (TVF).

She said, "I was not aware of the controversy as I was in New York and in the middle of a snow storm."

"Our film deals with a very strong message about zero tolerance to any form of violence or abuse against women. The film's producers and actors feel that until allegations against the producer and the channel are proven wrong, we will refrain from promoting the film or any of the actors appearing on the said show," she added.

The co-producer Anjum Rizvi highlighted that the film is based on the story of a working woman

and such topics should be handled with care. He says, "Raveena's character is that of a working woman. Our film has been inspired by incidents which are happening in India today. Right now, we felt we should not get into it, so we have opted out of the TVF show."

"It's a sensitive issue and we have to handle everything with care and not use whatever tools and means possible. We need to be careful of how we promote the film. Raveena is a vocal personality and doesn't mince her words".

As a filmmaker he is doing his job of raising issues but finding solutions is not a part of his job. He explains, "She is also involved in every aspect of the film as the subject is very close to her heart. As filmmakers, we can raise issues, though we can't come up with solutions. We are just highlighting the issue, but talks about whether women should or should not take law into their hands and how long they should wait for justice to be meted out."
