A young man has come forward with serious allegations against renowned director Ranjith, accusing him of subjecting him to unnatural sexual harassment when he sought an opportunity in the film industry. The youth claims that during the ordeal, Ranjith took nude photos of him and sent them to actress Revathi.
Recounting the incident, the young man stated, "Ranjith asked me to stand naked while he was on a call with an actress. He told me it was Revathi, though I don't know if Ranjith is truly connected to her. My photo was taken and sent and when I asked who it was for, he said it was for Revathi." The incident allegedly took place in a room in Bengaluru, around the time of the audio launch or shortly after the completion of the film 'Bavuttiyude Namathil'.
The young man further alleged that his ordeal began when he approached Ranjith for a chance in the film industry. Ranjith reportedly wrote his phone number on a tissue paper and asked the young man to send him a message. Two days later, the director instructed him to come to the Taj Hotel in Bengaluru, asking him to enter the room through the back gate around 10 PM. Upon arriving, the young man claims he was forced to drink alcohol, undress and was then molested by the director.
