Youth’s inappropriate question to an actress on air irked internet. A video that shows a bunch of reporters questioning actress Lavanya Manickan who acted in Mohan G’s “Bakasuran” is doing rounds in social media platforms. In the video, the actress could be seen countering the misogynistic questions such as why she is dressed in certain way. The inappropriate question was asked by one of the male reporters from a channel named “The Boys”. Many online users who came across the video, couldn’t resist themselves from calling out the regressive attitude of the male reporter.

Mohan G has become a controversial name in mainstream cinema after making films such as “Draupathy”, “Ruthra Thandavam”. With his latest release Bakasuran, the filmmaker became a subject to more controversy. The movie sheds light on sex scandals and how young women get trapped in them. However, it becomes problematic as the film further victimises the women.

The film’s plot follows Beemarasu, who is on a killing spree, and an ex-serviceman turned YouTuber, Natty, who uncovers shocking secrets after investigating his niece’s suicide. Beemarasu and Natty cross paths and realise they are fighting for the same cause.

The film educates viewers about how young women get trapped in sex scandals but also features several problematic references. Men lecture about how women shouldn’t fall prey to dating apps, and a grandfather justifies his granddaughter’s sexual harassment as not being as shameful as what most women indulge in.

The film highlights important issues, it also reinforces harmful stereotypes and further victimises women. The film could have been better executed, without perpetuating problematic narratives. The film is currently running in theatres and several renowned celebrities such as Karthi, Anurag Kashyap and others could be seen endorsing it.

In the video which is doing rounds, an anchor of a YouTube channel could be seen questioning actress Lavanya’s clothing choices repeatedly.

இவங்கள மக்கள் பார்க்க காரணம் க்ளீவேஜ் தெரியுறது தான்னு சொல்ற முட்டாள்,
ஒரு ஆண் நடிகர் ரோட்டுல போனா அவரையும் நாலு பேரு பார்ப்பாங்க அதுக்கு காரணம் அந்த நடிகரோட எந்த பாகம் தெரியுறதுன்னு சொல்லுவாரு?

எப்ப பாரு க்ளீவேஜ் தெரியது,இடுப்பு தெரியுதுன்னு கையில துப்பட்டாவோடவே சுத்தவேண்டியது. pic.twitter.com/HGS9PaSLw2
