Anu Malik getting sacked from Indian Idol again after #MeToo backlash?

Following the colossal number of people coming forth to condemn Sony Entertainment for rehiring Anu Malik on Indian Idol, after he was alleged of sexual misconduct last year, the company may be rethinking their decision.

The infamous music director who had been named in the #MeToo storm in Bollywood last year had stepped down from his position as the judge on the reality show but had gotten reinstated only a short while after.

A source close to the show has now revealed that the singer will soon be getting sacked once again.

“Anu Malik may be shown the door in the next few weeks. They thought the backlash against him had quietly died down. They never anticipated this new rising roar of protest against his return to the show,” the source was cited by Deccan Chronicle.

Last year, the Indian singer was alleged of sexual misconduct by three women in the music industry that included Sona Mahapatra, Shweta Pandit and Neha Bhasin.
