TV Star Ratan Raajputh exposes dark side of South Film Industry

Debatedly, the film industry is infamous for the casting couch phenomena.

The ‘ugly’ practice in the past, went unnoticed assuming it as a common practice.
But off late the actors are speaking up against the evils.

The recent victim to the casting couch is South Indian TV actor Ratan Raajputh who shared her undesirable experience and exposed the dark side of the south film industry.

In the past few years, the actors are expressing themselves without any fear and sharing their bad experiences with some renowned filmmakers. Credit goes to the rise of MeToo movement

In a recent interview, Ratan, acknowledged for her roles in Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo and Radha Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi, exposed a producer who asked for a s*xual favour in exchange for work.

Ratan Raajputh shared that she used to get many calls from South, some from very good directors, but along with that, they would add, ‘Ratan ji you have to put on some weight, you are very thin’. “Then the person said, ‘You already know the norms here’. When she asked him about it he said, ‘You know that in the industry, director, producer, and actor (lead only) and may be DOP..’.when asked him directly what about it he said, ‘You know, here you have to compromise’.”

Ratan Raajputh further revealed that she hasn’t received any South offer after that incident and continued, “What people are talking about Bollywood, that happens in South as well.

The very reason why South is still doing good work is because they still respect their culture, rituals, clothes and everything.
