Bengali actress Srilekha Mitra against director Ranjith. Srilekha Mitra said that when she came to act in the movie ‘Paleri Manikyam Oru Pathirakolapatakathum Katha’, she had a bad experience from Ranjith. The response was given to Asianet News. After that I got this one offer. I was in a very bad state mentally at that time. I was told to come to Kochi. After seeing the audition and my work, they sent me the ticket. I was also arranged to stay in a good hotel. I spoke to the director in the morning. Took a photo shoot. The director’s name is Ranjith. It seems that the movie is Paleri Manikyam. The fact that the film was with Mammootty was a big deal for me. I also like South Indian movies especially Malayalam movies. I came with high hopes.

After talking to the director in the morning, he was called again in the evening. Said producer and crew members are coming. There were quite a few people there. Meanwhile, he was talking on the phone with the cinematographer I worked with before. After that he called me from there to the room. I thought I must have been told to move out because there were so many people and so much noise.
I followed him. He crossed the room and went to the balcony. I followed. I was talking on the phone at that time. My role was Churidar. I had many bangles. He started touching all the bangles from my side. Another, he called the producer and said that he should arrange a return ticket for me and that I have come to do your work. But I was not given ticket or other facilities. I didn’t get a chance in that movie and other Malayalam movies. This is not just about Malayalam cinema. Srilekha says that there is always in every industry.
