Filmmaker Leena Yadav says there are complex issues surrounding the #MeToo movement, which is a time for reflection in the industry.
Leena's latest "Rajma Chawal" features Mukesh Chhabra in a cameo role. The casting director has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, post which he was suspended from his directorial debut "Kizzie Aur Manny".
When asked if Chhabra's appearance in the project can be viewed problematic in the age of #MeToo, Leena told PTI, "It's a very complex thing so let's not bring that in the conversation around the film. I don't know how to answer that question because it is a time of reflecting for all of us.
"#MeToo is a very real and at the same time a very complex situation which I don't want to speak in a sentence in context of one person."
