Chinmayi Sripaada, a singer, expressed strong criticism after seeing Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Congress’s P Chidambaram, and actor Kamal Haasan in a picture with Vairamuthu, a Tamil lyricist accused by her of sexual harassment.

She felt upset that while she faced bans and lost opportunities in her career, her alleged harasser was being supported by powerful figures in Tamil Nadu. Sripaada accused Vairamuthu of sexual harassment during the #MeToo movement in 2018, which encouraged many women in India to share their stories of harassment at work.She hoped that the system promoting sex offenders and silencing truth-tellers would start to crumble. Despite feeling helpless, she pledged to keep praying until justice prevailed.

“May the entire ecosystem that promotes and supports sex offenders whilst incarcerating honest people who speak up start getting destroyed from this very moment, onwards and beyond. I ll pray and keep praying until my wish comes true – there is nothing else I can do anyway (sic),”Sripaada wrote.

On Monday, Stalin posted a video of the event where he and Chidambaram unveiled Vairamuthu’s book, and Kamal Hassan appeared happy in the background. Stalin wrote, “First day of the new year! For more than two and a half hours, it was filled with loving souls!”

In 2019, a year after Sripaada accused Vairamuthu of sexual harassment, she criticized the media for staying quiet about the matter. In June of the same year, the respected singer mentioned that she held multiple individuals accountable for protecting Vairamuthu.

“I’m holding so many people responsible for saving Vairamuthu. There are a few people in DMK who tried to help me, but in the end, their hands are also tied,” she said.

Sripaada had also reached out to Stalin, questioning the government’s silence on the matter. Seventeen women have accused Vairamuthu of harassment so far.

Tamil lyricist Vairamuthu said he was ”returning” the award, in effect he was declining the honour, saying he did not want the jury to face embarrassment and blamed ”vendetta” behind the decision to reconsider the award by the ONV Cultural Academy. The award was instituted in memory of Jnanpith laureate Malayalam poet late ONV Kurup and the song writer has been facing “MeToo” charges.

He requested that the cash prize of Rs three lakh announced by the academy be given to the Kerala Chief Minister’s Public Relief fund and announced his own contribution of Rs two lakh towards the same, as a “token” of his love for Kerala and its people. “Due to the interference of those with vendetta the award has been subject to reconsideration is what I have come to know.” Wondering if the protests were aimed at “belittling” him and Kurup, Vairamuthu said he wanted to make sure that the “scholarly jury should not be pushed to embarrassment.”

It is an outrage time again and why not. The offenders can’t get away so easily. Tamil poet and lyricist Vairamuthu has been chosen for the fifth ONV literary award instituted by the ONV Cultural Academy in Kerala. This is the first time that the award is being presented to a non-Malayali writer, according to reports.

However, Tamil singer Chinmayi Sripada called out the academy and criticised the jury for presenting the esteemed award to Vairamuthu, who has been allegedly accused by 17 women of sexual harassment during the MeToo movement. In 2018, Chinmayi herself had opened up about her bitter experience with the veteran lyricist and accused him of sexual harassment. Expressing support to Chinmanyi, actress Parvathy Thiruvothu said that it is ‘immense disrespect’ to give the honour to Vairamuthu. “ONV sir is our pride. His contribution as a poet and lyricist is incomparable; how it has nourished our culture. Our hearts and minds have benefited through his body of work,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

She added: “This is exactly why it is immense disrespect to give such an honour in his name to the accused of sexual assault crimes.” She further wrote: “17 women have come out with their stories. We don’t know how many more have been wronged. There seems to be enough whataboutery to continue wronging those who are wronged. Only to uphold the reputation of those in power. Nothing is more important than humanity. If you come at me with the art vs artist debate, let me tell you that for me the humanity of the person creating the art is the only thing I’d choose to look at. I can live without the “art” of those who hollow out lives with absolute impunity.”

Filmmaker-actress Geetu Mohandas and filmmaker Anjali Menon have also expressed solidarity to Chinmayi. Vocalist TM Krishna called it ‘utterly shameful’. He tweeted: “This is how our society validates and gives more strength to someone who has been called out by several women as a sexual predator.  Utterly Shameful!”

Chimayi also #MeToo activist has been raising her voice against the abusers. In fact, she had also faced repercussions for naming lyricist Vairamuthu as a sexual predator. She had faced a backlash from Tamil dubbing union back then. Despite many challenges, Chinmayi has never given up on her fight in calling out the sexual predators.

Apparently, Kabilan already wrote a couple of songs and music director AR Rahman has recorded them as well. Mani Ratnam is currently in Thailand, shooting for the film. Once he is back, they will work on the remaining songs of the movie. We still don’t know whether Kabilan will write the rest of the songs or some other lyricist will get roped in.

It seems that AR Rahman is one of the main reasons for Vairamuthu for getting sacked. The music director didn’t work with the lyricist for his last three Tamil films, Mersal, Sarkar and Bigil. After #MeToo allegations popped up, he decided not to work with Vairamuthu. Now, even Mani Ratnam also cut off his ties with the star writer. Meanwhile, Mani is currently shooting the first schedule of the film in the forest areas of Thailand. Ponniyin Selvan features Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha and Mohan Babu in the main roles.

Apparently, Mani offered a pivotal role of star heroine Anushka in this multistarrer film. Initially, even the actress was interested in doing it but she opted out of the project in the last minute when she realized that writer Vairamuthu is also working for the film. A lot of sexual allegations were put on this writer last year.

Indirectly condemning his acts, Anushka decided to opt-out of this big film. Having no other choice left, Mani is now looking for another actress. Ponniyin Selven also features other stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi and Trisha.

In Bollywood, even top stars like Nana Patekar had to face #Me Too allegations from yesteryear star Tanushri Dutta. Director Sajid Nadiadwala too faced similar allegations and actors like Akshaya Kumar refused to work with him till he is cleared in all such allegations. A Central minister had to lose his post due to allegations of sexual overtures during his stint as an editor.

Telugu industry would remember this year for the sensational casting couch allegations from starlet Sri Reddy. Similarly, singer Chinmayi rocked the Kollywood with her allegations against scriptwriter Vairamuthu. Kannada star Shruthi Hariharan too levelled allegations against actor Arjun. But, all this seems to have died now. Tanushri is back in London and everything is quiet on Bollywood front. Ditto with Telugu industry. The industry would like to quickly forget these sordid dramas.
