Dileep remarks on lack of ‘freedom' to speak his mind for 8 years: ‘One day God will give me the opportunity'
Actor Dileep, whose film Prince and Family was released in theatres last week, indirectly spoke about the 2017 abduction and sexual assault case of a prominent female actor at the success meet. An OnManorama report states that the actor remarked on the lack of 'freedom' to speak his mind for eight years now, after being named in the case. (Also Read: Kerala Film Body gives Shine Tom Chacko final chance to correct his behaviour after Vincy Aloshious' allegations) Dileep thanked director-writer Sachy for giving him a hit with Ramleela in 2017 during trying times. He compared the success of Prince and Family to Ramleela and talked of how the filmmaker helped keep his career afloat amid controversies. He reportedly said at the event, 'For the past eight years, I have only spoken about my films. I don't have the freedom to speak about anything else. But one day, God will give me the opportunity to speak. I will wait for that day and remain quiet till then.' He also reportedly urged people to show support for the film, as many have tried to 'pull him down' in the last few years. In 2017, a prominent Malayalam female actor was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a gang of men in a moving car as she was returning home from a shoot. A few months later, the investigating team arrested Dileep after the main accused claimed the assault was ordered by the actor. He secured bail after spending 83 days in jail. The case partly contributed to the Women in Cinema Collective and the formation of the Hema Committee, and the subsequent report that exposed abuse in Mollywood. In April this year, the Kerala High Court turned down a petition by Dileep for a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the case as it found no merit.

Pakistani Film Sher Accused Of Plagiarising Scenes From Deepika-Ranveer's Ram Leela
Last Updated: The teaser of Pakistani drama Sher, starring Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, is accused of copying scenes from Bollywood's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. The new teaser of the Pakistani drama Sher, starring Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, has courted controversy online. Viewers are accusing the creators of ripping off scenes from the hit Bollywood film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, starring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Just days after its release, the teaser has been accused of looking eerily similar to a famous moment from the 2013 Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. In that scene, Deepika and Ranveer, playing lovers from rival families, face off while aiming guns at each other. In Sher, Danish is seen holding a gun, and Sarah, dressed in a traditional ghagra choli, stands her ground with a weapon of her own. The tense, charged standoff has fans pointing out the obvious parallels to that iconic Ram Leela moment. Take a look at some reactions here: Acha Ramleela ka sasti version bhi aa gaya pak mein😂 — Debasish Singh (@cricdebasish) April 29, 2025 This isn't even Ramleela. This is Badlapur leikin bohot zyada sastay main. — Koko (@brerkhargosh) April 29, 2025 The makers of Sher have not yet responded to the plagiarism claims, and the lead actors, Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, have also stayed silent on the matter so far. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is a retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of two warring families, the Rajadis and Saneras, in a fictional Indian town. Ranveer Singh plays Ram, a carefree charmer from one clan, while Deepika Padukone's Leela is the fierce and fiery daughter of the rival family. Their intense romance blooms despite their families' hatred, but as love clashes with loyalty and blood ties, tragedy takes center stage. The film released in November 2013. It also starred Richa Chadda, Supriya Pathak, Gulshan Devaiah, Sharad Kelkar, Raza Murad and others. First Published:
