Later, Vijay moved to the Kerala High Court seeking anticipatory bail in the rape case. In the anticipatory bail plea, he alleged that the actor who filed a complaint against him was trying to blackmail him. She approached him seeking opportunities in the movies. He also alleged that even after their collaboration ended, she continued to stay in touch and eventually grew closer to him despite knowing that he was married and had a family. He also added that he was ready to produce the messages and pictures that the two had exchanged However, the Kerala High Court refused to accept his plea. Later, another woman accused Vijay of harassment. She claimed that Vijay tried to kiss her even though they barely knew each other for 20-30 minutes during a work-related meeting. She said that the incident shocked her and because of that, she stayed away from the film industry. She said, "He was drinking alcohol and offered it to me as well. I refused and continued working. Suddenly, he just leaned to kiss me on my lips, without any question, without any consent. Luckily, my reflex action was super quick and I just pulled myself backwards and maintained a distance from him. I looked into his face, and he then asked me: Just one kiss?â |
