Two actresses have filed a case against casting director Mohan, who was in the news recently for alleged sexual harassment. Gayathri and Hasini have filed cases with the Chennai Police Commissioner asking them to immediately arrest Mohan.
Hasini, in her complaint, has alleged that Mohan tried to sexually harass her when she approached him for film roles. The actress said that she was forced to send intimate images of herself to Mohan, and that he told her he would spread rumours about her if she did not do so. Mohan has also been accused of trying to force Hasini into unwanted physical contact. As she was uncomfortable with this, she eventually began to move away from him.
Gayathri, on the other hand, said that she participated in several photoshoots at Mohan’s residence. During the course of one such shoot, she had used Mohan’s bedroom to change her clothes. A recently released video of Mohan shows a camera in the bedroom. Gayathri said that she could have been captured on camera and wants that video to be removed. She also wanted Mohan arrested.
Hasini said that Mohan could be selling intimate photos and videos of aspiring actresses to people abroad. She also wrote that she is scared that Mohan might post her photos online, and urged the Chennai police to take action against Mohan as soon as possible.
A case has been registered by the police, and investigation is currently underway.

The controversy began when an intimate video was released by a woman who claimed that Mohan had sexually assaulted and harassed a friend in exchange for roles.
In an interview with Filmibeat, Mohan said that he had not done anything wrong and that he has never forced someone to do something they did not like. He is currently contemplating legal action against the accusers.
