Shweta Manon
An FIR has been registered against South Indian actress model and Miss India 1994 contestant Shweta Menon. Shweta, 51, has been accused of earning money through pornographic films. The Kochi Central Police has registered a case on the basis of a complaint of public activist Martin Meenacherry. A case has been registered under Section 67 (A) of the IT Act and the illegal activities (prevention) Act. However, the complainant has cited an advertisement of Malayalam films and contraceptive condoms starring Shweta Menon.
Complaint lodged about obscenity in the film
Martin Menacherry filed a complaint, alleging that films starring Shweta Menon have obscene scenes. The complainant cited ‘Paleri Manikyam’, ‘Rathinirvedam’ and ‘Kalimannu’, which featured Shweta Menon’s delivery and an advertisement of contraceptive condom. These are films that have been certified by the censor board and are still available to the public. The complaint states that these films are being broadcast on social media and porn sites.
Case reached central police
This was a complaint that was initially ignored by the police. However, the complainant moved to the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Ernakulam and from there, took the case to the central police. The FIR states that naked scenes were broadcast on social media and porn sites.
Shweta Menon’s claim in AMMA election
Significantly, such a case has come up at a time when Shweta Menon is contesting for the post of President of Malayalam Movie Artists Association (AMMA). In response to Asianet News, Central ACP CB Tom said that the case has been registered as per the court order and if the court orders, the police have no other option. The ACP said, ‘If the court orders an inquiry, an FIR should be lodged on any complaint. There is no possibility of preliminary investigation. He further said that the police will now investigate the complaint.
She shot her real delivery for the film
Yes you read it right. Shweta Menon took a live shot of her delivery in front of three cameras for her film Kalimannu. Directed by acclaimed director Blassi, Shweta took her delivery shot for about 45 minutes for the film. Shweta was pregnant during the shooting of the film and the actress agreed to film her pregnancy and delivery for the film. However, this scene had created a lot of controversy for delivery commercialization.
