#MeToo: Would love to see our industry become cleaner, respectful of women, says A R RahmanOct 23 (AZINS) Music maestro A R Rahman believes that India's #MeToo campaign has the power to make the entertainment industry cleaner and respectful of women.

The 51-year-old Oscar-winning composer, who shared his views on the movement on Monday night via social media, said his aim has always been to create a safe working environment for everyone.

In a post that Rahman shared on his Twitter handle read, "Been observing the #MeToo movement... Some of the names have shocked me... both the victims and their perpetrators... I would love to see our industry become cleaner and respectful of women... More power to all the victims coming forward!!"

He further said, "In all my endeavours, my team and I are committed to creating an environment where everyone finds a safe creative space to bring their best, evolve and succeed."

The composer however, said people should be careful before creating an 'internet justice system'.

"Social media offers great freedom for victims to speak up, however we should be careful in creating a new internet justice system, in case it's misused," he wrote.

A R Rahman's statement comes weeks after his long-time collaborator Tamil lyricist Vairamuthu was accused of predatory behaviour by multiple women, including popular singer Chinmayi Sripaada.

India's #MeToo movement started after actress Tanushree Dutta revived a decade-old allegation of harassment against Nana Patekar, accusing him of sexual misconduct on the sets of a 2008 film Horn Ok Pleasss.

Following Tanushree's allegations, many from the Indian film industry including big names like Vikas Bahl, Alok Nath, Subhash Ghai, Sajid Khan have been accused of sexual harassment by various women.
