Female Director, in Kerala, got arrested for forcing a man to act in an obscene film. Director Lakshmi Deepta was arrested on charges of tricking a man into acting in an obscene web series. The Aruvikkara police arrested her following a complaint filed by a man from Thiruvananthapuram who alleged that Lakshmi made him act in the web series and telecast it through an OTT platform, promising to make him a hero. Lakshmi was accused of shooting some scenes after promising to make him the lead in the series, but then forcing him to act in obscene scenes by getting him entangled in the contract.

The shooting of the web series, as mentioned in the complaint, took place in a vacant flat in Aruvikkara in June 2022. According to the complainant, Lakshmi threatened him by citing the contract, even though he tried to withdraw from filming the pornographic scenes in the series. The young man lodged a complaint with the Thiruvananthapuram Vizhinjam police after the film’s trailer was widely circulated on social media. However, when the police did not take any further action, he approached the High Court. The High Court granted anticipatory bail to Lakshmi in the case and directed that if the accused appeared before the police, she should be produced before the court and released on bail.

After the man’s complaint, several other people, including actresses, came forward with complaints against Lakshmi. A woman from Malappuram lodged a complaint with the city police commissioner, and another woman from Alappuzha filed one with Kovalam police. These complaints were also related to the same web series.

Lakshmi was produced in Nedumangad court and released on conditional bail. The case has sparked widespread outrage, with many people condemning the director’s actions. The incident highlights the need for greater regulation and oversight of the entertainment industry to prevent the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. It also highlights the need for greater awareness and education around issues related to consent and exploitation in the workplace.
