Tainted Malayalam actor Dileep’s new film Bha Bha Bha, which opens on December 18, seems to be caught in a crisis.
The Court has acquitted the actor in a sexual assault case, but the public has not. The fury and outrage over what is being seen as a travesty of justice is widespread. Many organizations in Kerala have called for a boycott of Bha Bha Bha.
An incident last week on a long-distance Thiruvananthapuram- Kalpetta bus in Kerala typifies public sentiment about Dileep. A group of women passengers protested after a film starring Dileep was aired during the journey, and the screening had to be stopped. How Bha Bha Bha will fare at the box office is anybody’s guess at this point.
