Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan who will next be seen in Vikas Bahl’s Super 30, has broken his silence on the allegations of misconduct against the filmmaker.
A former employee of Phantom Films and Queen actress Kangana Ranaut have claimed that Bahl harassed them sexually.
In a statement, Hrithik posted on Twitter, “It is impossible for me to work with any person if he/she is guilty of such grave misconduct. I am away and have access to only sporadic information. I have requested the producers of Super 30 to take stock of the apparent facts and take a harsh stand if need be.”

He added: “This is not to be hushed or brushed under the carpet. All proven offenders must be punished and all exploited people must be empowered and given strength to speak up.”

A few days ago, Huffington Post published an article where a woman accused Vikas of sexual harassment. The report claims that while many people, including Anurag Kashyap, were aware of the incident for a long time, they did not do enough.
Super 30 starring Hrithik Roshan is Phantom’s latest project that will clash with Kangana’s Manikarnika on 25 January 2019.
