Released just days after Mollywood actor Dileep was acquitted in the 2017 actress assault case, his latest film, Bha Bha Ba has already sparked controversy over kidnapping and rape jokes.
In the controversial scene, Godson (played by Dhyan Sreenivasan) refers to Radar (Dileep's character) as a "professional kidnapper", adding that this was "not the first time he kidnapped someone".
The very next scene is a flashback to the time Radar "kidnapped and milked" someone called Ramani. Though Radar is shown approaching a woman on screen, it is soon revealed that Ramani was a cow.
Netizens were quick to compare this with the actress assault case, in which Dileep was accused of orchestrating the kidnapping and rape of a Mollywood actress in 2017.
As a result, this debut film from Dhananjay Shankar has garnered massive backlash online, with netizens questioning how it was even allowed, despite one of its writers being a woman.
"What happens in this scene is a spoof of that incident ... I feel disgusted with the entire cast and crew, including the king ... It should be remembered that one of the writers in this is also a woman," a Redditor wrote.
(More details are awaited.)
