Swastika Mukherjee said the co-producer of her upcoming movie Shibpur sent her threatening emails and manipulated images. The movie will debut on May 5. Actor Swastika Mukherjee levelled some significant complaints against Sandeep Sarkar, the co-producer of her next Bengali movie Shibpur. The actor claimed that she got threatening emails from Sandeep and his associates asking her to “cooperate” with them before the film’s release. She further stated that they threatened to leak her modified, “nude” images on websites that feature pornography.
Swastika filed a case at Kolkata’s Golf Green Police Station last month. She also asked the Eastern India Motion Films Association for assistance (EIMPA). The political thriller Shibpur is helmed by Arindam Bhattacharya. Together with Swastika, other notable actors who play important roles include Parambrata Chatterjee, Rajatava Dutta, Mamata Shankar, Kharaj Mukhopadhyay, Susmita Mukherjee, and a few others.
Swastika stated to OTT play in regards to her abuse, “It all started fairly randomly. I was never introduced to Sandeep Sarkar during the entire filming and dubbing process. Ajanta Sinha Roy, a different co-producer, was the one who spoke with us. Sandeep Sarkar started threatening me with emails all of a sudden. He asserted that he was an American citizen and threatened to contact the US Embassy to prevent me from ever receiving a US visa if I didn’t “cooperate” with them.”
Actor Swastika Mukherjee:
She further adds, “He also threatened to take me before the Chief Minister, Police Commissioner, and other officials. Now, I have no notion what this “cooperation” actually implies. I directed and dub-subbed the movie, and I never had any intention of avoiding promotional activities. The movie’s initial release date was set for March. I sent them an email with my availability dates. There was silence. Subsequently, the release was changed. However, they made no effort to inform me. After learning about it from our director, I emailed him again with my availability dates.”
The actress states, “He was meant to oversee the promotional operations by that point. What exactly are they talking about right now? I haven’t gotten any marketing or public relations plans. In fact, I also published the poster on my social media when it was launched.” A guy going by the name of Ravish Sharma sent a threatening email to not just Swastika but also her manager, claiming to be a friend of Sandeep Sarkar. “He (Ravish Sharma) further stated that he was a ‘great’ computer hacker,” the actor continued. He promised to “transform” my photos and upload them to pornographic websites. Also, he sent two nude and modified versions of my photographs along with the email. It was sexual harassment in this situation. Sandeep Sarkar acknowledged that they know one another.”
“If I had wanted to, I would have discussed it with the media at the time. I remained silent because I wanted Shibpur’s discharge to go smoothly. But it seems to go on forever. Everyone will attest to the fact that I worked hard during shooting. I arrived on time and did everything in my power to accurately portray the character. Sandeep Sarkar claims that I have extorted money from others.” The Dil Bechara actor said why she first remained silent as the situation started in March: “I did not get paid a dollar extra than what was stated in the contract. She claimed that as soon as she received the emails, she went to the police.”
