After harassment charges, Vikas Bahl dropped from Amazon's web-series?

Actress Tanushree Dutta recently ignited the Me Too movement in India by accusing Nana Patekar of sexual harassment on the sets of 2008 film Horn Ok Pleasss. Soon after, filmmaker Vikas Bahl, co-founder of Phantom Films, found himself in the eye of the storm when a former woman employee of his company alleged that he sexually abused her. Now amidst these claims, we now hear that Vikas' work is getting affected and he has been dropped out of a series that he was to direct for Amazon Prime.

A source revealed to Mid-Day, "The project is being produced by Monozygotic Solutions, which is owned by Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman of Roadies fame. The show was a reboot of an Australian series that revolves around couples spicing up their sex lives. It was scheduled to roll by year-end. But with the latest controversy, Amazon wouldn't be comfortable backing it with Vikas on board."

Apparently, the production house has discussed the matter with Amazon and they will soon rope in another director.

Moreover, it is touted that Vikas will be kept out of the promotions of his next project, Hrithik Roshan starrer Super 30. "The post-production has to be done under his supervision because it would be impractical to bring someone new on board at this stage. But after that, Vikas will be asked to dissociate himself from the film," the daily quoted a source as saying.

For the unversed, Phantom Film's other co-owners, Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, have corroborated the charges against Vikas in respective official statements.
