Vikas Bahl Gets Clean Chit In Sexual Misconduct Cases, To be Credited Super 30 Director

Vikas Bahl — who was accused of sexual misconduct by Phantom Films employe last year — has been given a clean chit by Reliance Entertainment. It is to be noted that Reliance Entertainment had a 50% stake in Phantom Films. Vikas Bahl was among the several Bollywood celebrities who had been accused of sexual harassment by either Hindi film actresses or common women.

When the employee of Phantom Films had accused Bahl of sexual harassment, he was ousted from Hrithik Roshan starrer Super 30. Responding to Bahl’s allegation, Hrithik Roshan took to Twitter and wrote: “It is impossible for me to work with any person if he/she is guilty of such grave misconduct. I am away and have access to only sporadic information. I have requested the producers of Super 30 to take stock of the apparent facts and take a harsh stand if need be. This is not to be hushed or brushed under the carpet. All proven offenders must be punished, and all exploited people must be empowered and given strength to speak up.”


Following his allegations, several Bollywood such as Anurag Kashyap, Kangana Ranaut and Vikramaditya Motwane confirmed of Vikas’ activities and even called him a sexual offender. According to reports, Vikas Bahal has now filed a defamation case against Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane for maligning his image by giving statements against him on social media.

Confirming to the news, Shibasish Sarkar, the Group CEO, Reliance Entertainment, told Mumbai Mirror, “Yes, it is that the internal complaints committee report has exonerated Vikas Bahl. With the committee clearing Vikas, we don’t have a choice but to reinstate his credit as director of Super 30.”

The trailer of Hrithik Roshan’s Super 30 is scheduled to release next week and Vikas will be credited as director of the film.
