Bollywood Actor Emraan Hashmi, amid an allegation of sexual harassment against filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, has said that the #MeToo movement is great but one that needs a proper process of investigation.
Emraan was interacting with the media to promote “Why Cheat India” at a multiplex along with co-star Shreya Dhanwanthary here on Wednesday. Hirani has been accused by a woman “assistant” who worked with him in “Sanju”.
Asked about it Emraan said: “Right now, he is not proven guilty. I can’t really speak on the matter because I don’t know the details. If the allegations are true, then there has to be some kind of action taken. But we don’t know just as yet. This is a thing with this movement.”

We understand that the accusations have been made but there has to be some kind of process where there is some kind of investigation, so I hope that gets done for the girl.”
Talking about “Why Cheat India”, Emraan said: “It’s very relevant film about education system and things that are holding it down and corruption that has plagued it so I feel it’s really a unique high-concept subject and we are hoping for the best with the release of our film.” “Why Cheat India” is written and directed by Soumik Sen. It will release on Friday.
