Actor Dulquer Salmaan Accused of Body-Shaming

A journalist has recently accused actor Dulquer Salmaan for using her pictures in his film, ‘Varane Avashyamund’ without her prior consent. Her pictures have appeared in the film’s poster for a weight loss clinic.

Chetna Kapoor wrote in a tweet that she will pursue legal action against the film’s team. She wrote, “Dear a2dulQuer @DQsWayfareFilm, Thank you for the feature in your film but I’d like you to excuse me from body-shaming on a public forum. The concerned image was used without my consent & knowledge in your film. I’d like to claim ownership of the same. #Varaneavashyamund

Dulquer has immediately replied to her tweet with a humble apology stating, “We take full responsibility for the error on our behalf. Will look into it with concerned departments of the film to understand how the images were sourced. I apologise from my end and from the film as well @DQsWayfareFilm for any difficulties caused. It wasn’t intentional.”

Director Anoop Sathyan worte, “First of all we are extremely sorry for the discomfort caused. There wasn’t any intention to disrespect or objectify women, as the content of this film is in itself against sexism. We do state our apology on behalf of the technical crew of this film.”

Chetna Kapoor has asked them to remove her images or at least blur it. She said, “I appreciate your prompt reply. While you take your time to investigate the matter, it would be ideal that either the scenes are deleted with my pictures in it or the images are blurred effective immediately.” She tweeted later saying, “Had a conversation with @anoop_sathyan abt my pictures used in #Varaneavashyamund. Appreciate the thought & effort you put in reaching out to me. Want to assure you that I’m willing to put this matter behind. Thanku for the sincere apology.”

The movie stars Dulquer, Suresh Gopi, Shobana, Kalyani and Priyadarshan. The first production of Dulquer, Varane Avashyamun had a good run at the box office.
