Famous Malayalam actor Anish Menon. He has been acting in Malayalam for over 12 years and has acted in more than 50 films in Malayalam including Trishyam, Trishyam 2, Sudani Pram Nigeria, Lucifer, An Adar Love. In addition, the actor has been working as a casting director and acting coach for films. He has acted in some films in Tamil including Fire Burning Green Tree and Our Village. .
He sexually assaulted a young woman who came to acting training a few years ago. The woman has now posted this on her social media page. He said:
I went to him (Anish Menon) for a mono acting class. First he grabbed my cheek and expressed affection. Then he started touching other parts of the body. He grabbed my breasts and adjusted. It was embarrassing. Thus, I invited my mother to come as an assistant for training. He also convinced my parents that touching the body was part of training. Then he took more rights and started giving sexual harassment. I was scared.
He once told me that romantic expressions do not come right. Then he held my hands tightly and kissed my neck. Then he leaned against the wall and forcibly kissed her. I could not stop. The cry came. Then suddenly he bit my lip. Unable to suppress tears I phoned my parents. When I asked what they were, I was told my stomach was aching. they came. I told them not to do mono acting anymore.
Why did Aneesh do anything? Asked. I said no. The one who had been there until then, ran away when my parents arrived. Many like me may have been affected by him. I am writing this thinking that some more people will come forward to complain boldly because I wrote it. The only regret was that my parents were not supportive of me at the time.
Thus wrote the woman. This has caused shock in Malayalam cinema. It seems that there may be many more Me Too complaints against Anish Menon.
