Arvind Swami on #MeToo movement: I don’t support people ganging up against the complainers
Actor Arvind Swami was part of India Today South Conclave 2018, Vishakapatnam. The Tamil actor, who is acing his second innings as an actor, spoke on the topic ‘Life in two acts: The Reel and the real’.
During the course of the conversation, Arvind Swami asked about his stance on the multiple sexual allegations made against lyricist Vairamuthu.
Arvind Swami said he welcomes #MeToo movement but he can’t take a stand when it comes to complaints against individual cases due to lack of more information.
He said, “If you’re going to be specific and make an accusation, I need to have more information before I can say anything. Until then, it is somebody else’s opinion. But I don’t support people ganging up against the complainers. They shouldn’t be punished, it’s illogical.”
The actor also revealed that he is not going to quit acting as he did it before. Swami also revealed that he is going to turn director next year for a Tamil film.
Arvind Swami was last seen in Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, a multi-starrer film, directed by Mani Ratnam. He will next be seen in Vanangamudi, Naragasooran, and Sathuranga Vettai 2.
