#MeToo India: Sony Entertainment to drop Anu Malik again

Sony wakes up from elongated siesta over #MeToo, finally considers firing Anu Malik

Following the deep outrage expressed by several women in the entertainment industry, Sony Entertainment is apparently reconsidering its decision to reinstate Anu Malik as a judge on the music contest Indian Idol.

The backlash dates back to last year when after a slew of MeToo allegation Anu Malik stepped down from his judge’s role on Indian Idol.

Singers Sona Mahapatra and Shweta Pandit were among the women who spoke out against Malik’s conduct. When recently Malik was reinstated aggrieved women, whose number has now amplified to include voices like Neha Bhasin, spoke out strongly against Sony Entertainment’s decision to reinstate Malik.

Shaken by the uproar Sony is apparently re-thinking their decision. A source from Indian Idol reveals, “Anu Malik may be shown the door in the next few weeks. They thought the backlash against him had quietly died down. They never anticipated this new rising roar of protest against his return to the show.”

What is so special of Anu Malik that sony needs him for Indian Idol ?

50% of his songs are copied from other languages.

Drop hi karna tha toh waapis uthaya kyun. Catch Khel rahe ho kya uske saath.

To gain brownie points... Anu KO BHI achchi khasi fees mil jayegi for the episodes shot so far. Win win deal

Anu Malik may be shown the door in the next few weeks

Lol... May... Few weeks..... Lol

They are just making noises so the criticism dies down... Few weeks mein show will be half done. ...

there are reports that he wont be dropped. Please stop watching this show. Anu mallik is a serial sex offender. He was accused by 4 females and one was as young as 15, when she was abused by him. So there might be many more who took favors from him so just they could get a break in the industry.

i think they brought him back because show only gets trps because of him

It sucks for the contestants and guests on the show

They have to shake his hand and interact with him

Sony is absolute shit for reinstating him

The network nor the show should be supported

im wondering if they replace anu who will he be replaced with

maybe javed ali again

though i want it to be saleem merchant
