In the midst of a controversy surrounding actor Radha Ravi's derogatory remarks against actress Nayanthara, actor Siddharth has said he was shocked to see how the southern film fraternity was either silent or cynical about the #MeToo movement in the country.

Siddharth's tweet came a day after Radha Ravi passed a remark on actress Nayanthara at the trailer launch of her upcoming Tamil film Kolayuthir Kaalam.

The #MeToo movement in India started last year after actress Tanushree Dutta in September 2018 recalled an unpleasant episode with veteran actor Nana Patekar on the sets of Horn OK Pleassss in 2008.
