Many music composers from Bollywood were accused by playback singers in #MeToo movement. Here comes one of the senior composers who is now banned from entering a studio in Mumbai. Well, let us go into the details. Last year, senior Bollywood music composer Anu Malik made headlines for wrong reasons during the sensational #MeToo movement. Anu was accused of harassment by popular Hindi playback singers – Alisha Chenoy, Sona Mohapatra and Shweta Pandit.

Not many filmmakers have taken action on the artistes who are accused in this movement. But Yash Raj films has taken a bold initiative buy banning Anu Malik from entering the premises of the studio.This stern initiative by the YRF heads has been welcomed positively by #MeToo activists and victims.

Last year, he was also removed from the judging panel of Indian Idol, one of the popular music shows. His return to the show for this season is highly uncertain. Unfortunately, filmmakers from south haven’t taken such initiatives till now.
