Women in Cinema Collective actors say they've not been getting work offers. But in another world Dileep, an accused actor, charge sheeted and under trial in a sexual assault case, is full frame. https://t.co/3BA4ajmkw8

Anna Vetticad
India's top women's magazine has chosen to put #Dileep on the cover. #Vanitha translates to "Woman". They should be renamed anti-Vanitha. Sick! https://t.co/wNHk77Wp99

Swara Bhasker
This man is Dileep- Malyalam film industry star (pretty incriminatingly) accused of sponsoring the kidnapping & assault of an actress & colleague in 2017. Spent many months in jail. On bail now. Victim has written to Kerala CM to expedite justice. Shame on you Vanitha magazine. https://t.co/nwfte7ouup
