Many criticise Ajay Devgn for making the film ‘De De Pyaar De’ with Alok Nath.

Writer Vinta Nanda, alleged that Alok Nath raped her back when they were working on TV show Tara. "I don't expect anything from Ajay Devgn. I don't think he is in any position to take a stand. The money riding on the project is the only dharma for them," Vinta Nanda told mid-day.

"When it comes to the box office, nobody (in the industry) follows any other religion. There is no right and wrong. Their politics and ideologies go for a toss. Their reluctance to take action is the giveaway (of their intentions)," Vinta Nanda added.

Actress Tanushree Dutta, who is seen as the herald in the #MeToo Movement, slammed Ajay Devgn in an open letter for casting Alok Nath in his project. "During the #MeToo movement in India, the actor had tweeted and sworn never to work with those accused and now in a surprising and convenient turn of events is working with rape and harrasment accused Alok Nath and supporting him to make a comeback to Bollywood," she said in a statement, reported IANS.

Even Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli had bashed him on Twitter, "It is because of these men our country is a black spot on world map as far as crimes against women are concerned, shame on you Bollywood for mocking #MeToo."




Speaking at the trailer launch of the movie in Mumbai, Ajay Devgn said: "This is not the right place to talk about it. And jinki aap baat kar rahe hai woh film uske pehle complete hui (the film was completed before the allegations surfaced against the concerned person)," reported PTI.

Tanushree told IANS: "Nobody even knew before the posters and trailers that Alok Nath is in the film, so if Ajay and the makers wanted they could have just quietly replaced him and re-shot his portions (which is barely 10-15 days for character actors in Bollywood), and given Vinta Nanda the respect she deserves as well as several other women who were troubled by this guy... but no."



De De Pyaar De also stars Tabu, Rakul Preet and Jimmy Sheirgill and is directed by Akiv Ali. It is scheduled to release on May 17.
