Will Pawan Kalyan Take Action Against Jani Master ?
The South Indian film industry has been taking a more cautious approach towards addressing sexual harassment allegations ever since the Hema Committee report went viral in the Malayalam cinema industry. These allegations are becoming more common across all industries, prompting action from various parties. In this context, a recent case involving National Award-winning choreographer Shaik Jani Basha, also known as Jani Master, has stirred up controversy.
Allegations Against Jani Master
A 21-year-old female choreographer has come forward with serious allegations, accusing Jani Master of sexual assault. The police have taken swift action by filing an FIR (First Information Report), and an investigation is currently underway. The case has caught public attention, particularly due to Jani’s close ties with prominent figures in the Telugu film industry.
Jani Master Close Ties with Pawan Kalyan
One of the most talked-about aspects of this case is Jani Master’s association with Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and his political party, Janasena. Jani has long been known to share a strong bond with the Mega family, especially Mega Powerstar Ram Charan and Pawan Kalyan. At one point, Jani was even set to direct a film with Pawan Kalyan in the lead role. Additionally, during the most recent general elections in Andhra Pradesh, Jani Master officially joined Janasena and actively campaigned for the party.
Calls for Action From Pawan Kalyan
With the allegations surfacing, many are now asking if Pawan Kalyan will take decisive action against Jani Master, considering the choreographer’s political and personal ties. Opposition leaders in Andhra Pradesh, as well as numerous netizens, are urging Pawan Kalyan to act promptly by suspending Jani Master from the party. Given Pawan’s consistent stance on women’s safety, many believe this will be a critical moment for him to demonstrate his principles and take a stand against any alleged wrongdoing.
Pawan Kalyan’s Stance on Women’s Safety
Pawan Kalyan has long been a vocal supporter of women’s rights and has openly condemned any form of misbehavior toward women. Given his public image as someone who stands up for justice, his supporters and critics alike are watching to see how he handles these allegations. Many believe that suspending Jani Master from the party until the investigation concludes would set a strong example for others.
Legal Proceedings and Investigation
Jani Master is currently facing charges under Section 376 (rape), Section 506 (criminal intimidation), and Section 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Prominent figures like Shikha Goel, Director General of the Women Safety Wing Telangana, have called for the film industry to take this matter seriously.
Conclusion: What Lies Ahead?
The coming days will reveal how Pawan Kalyan chooses to handle this sensitive situation. For now, all eyes are on him, as the investigation continues.
