While many filmmakers are happily venturing into the zone of web series, one amongst them is Subhash Kapoor who is known for films like the Jolly LLB series. The director was supposed to venture into the digital zone with this Ekta Kapoor series but alas, recent reports have led to him being ousted from the project. Reports have it that the filmmaker has been fighting charges of sexual harassment against him and this hasn't gone down well with Ekta Kapoor.

Followed by the way Vikas Bahl faced severe charges of sexual harassment against him after his partners confessed about his philandering ways with women, the filmmaker has been dropped out of many projects. Similarly, Subhash Kapoor recently lost the much ambitious project of Bhushan Kumar, Mogul. But that wasn't all! He went on to lose out on the Ekta Kapoor web series The Verdict.

It seems that Ekta Kapoor has recently come on board as the core member of the Producers' Guild. The producer and TV Czarina has always had an intolerant attitude towards sexual harassment and crimes against women. So when she came to know about Subhash Kapoor fighting a case on similar charges, she decided to replace the filmmaker of her web series. However, the new director for the same is yet to be announced.

It is being said that The Verdict which is based on true incidents that transpired during the infamous Nanavati case, was being planned on a large scale. It has been learnt even though letting Subhash out from the project would leave the same in a lurch, Ekta has decided to support the victim. Moreover, we hear that Balaji would not be further going any projects with Subhash Kapoor until he is proven innocent.

The reaction to MeToo by Bollywood is hilarious to say the least. Geetika Tyagi has slapped Subhash Kapoor on camera for her harassment so many years back yet he went on to direct Jolly LLB 2 with one of the biggest stars of BW along with upcoming projects with Aamir and Ekta.

This whole forum has been flooded with blinds about Sajid and his dick picks long back. These blinds obviously came from the industry. Yet no one took any action. Subhash Ghai's case was well known since Manisha's time yet he now runs one of the country's most expensive film schools that invites legends like Big B and others for convocation. All of these things are open secrets. Everyone knows about it in BW yet they choose to ignore it.

Imran and Arjun is now telling about how they all knew about it yet didn't speak up. I mean STFU idiots, if they would've spoken up back then atleast some victims would've been saved. What's the point of telling everything after it has happened?

This Vikas Bahl story came on Mirror about a year back. Despite that Hrithik went ahead with Super 30. And now he gives a statement after the film is made. W*F?

More than the culprits, it is these silent spectators who still encourage culprits by staying mum as mute spectators are the reason for this environment in BW right now.
