Suniel Shetty Shares Experience of Being Held at Gunpoint During 9/11 in the U.S.

In 2001, amidst the tragic events of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty found himself in the United States filming for ‘Kaante’. In a recent interview with Chanda Kochhar on her YouTube channel, Shetty shared a shocking experience he faced during that time when law enforcement pointed a gun at him due to his appearance.Shetty recounted that he had just arrived in Los Angeles when the attacks occurred and was unaware that he was about to experience a terrifying ordeal. He explained, “I was taken at gunpoint because I had this beard. We had only resumed shooting a few days earlier. I was walking into the hotel and getting into the lift when I realized I had forgotten my keys. I asked an American gentleman nearby, ‘Do you have the keys? I left mine with my staff.’ Instead of helping, he created a scene, and before I knew it, armed police stormed in, shouting, ‘Get down or we’ll shoot!’”

Feeling bewildered, Shetty described the moment when he was forced to kneel and handcuffed, completely at a loss for what was happening. It wasn’t until the film’s production team arrived that they clarified his identity as an actor. “That’s when the production team got there, and the hotel manager explained to them that I was an actor. The whole situation was surreal and chaotic. I really had no idea what was going to happen next.”

Reflecting on the incident, Shetty acknowledged that his attempt to gesture for the keys may have led to the misunderstanding. “I thought maybe he didn’t understand English, so I gestured ‘key’ and ‘lift’. Unfortunately, that just made things worse for me.”

On the professional front, Suniel Shetty is set to star in ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ alongside a talented cast that includes Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt. Additionally, he has ‘Hera Pheri 3’ in the works.

French Actor Theo Navarro-Mussy Excluded from Red Carpet Due to Rape Allegations

Published

on

French actor Theo Navarro-Mussy has been officially barred from walking the red carpet at the premiere of ‘Dossier 137’, a political drama competing at this year’s festival. This decision follows resurfacing allegations of rape and physical violence against him, marking a significant incident for the prestigious event.

Navarro-Mussy plays a supporting role in ‘Dossier 137’, directed by César Award-winning filmmaker Dominik Moll, which is set against the backdrop of France’s Yellow Vest protests. However, it’s the controversy surrounding his past that is drawing attention rather than his performance.

The exclusion decision was confirmed mere hours before the film’s debut at the Palais theater. Producers Caroline Benjo and Carole Scotta of Haut et Court released a joint statement highlighting that, although the allegations predate the film’s production, they felt it was necessary to act in “respect for the plaintiffs and the victims’ word.”

Festival director Thierry Frémaux had previously discussed the situation with the team prior to the festival’s opening. As reported by ‘Télérama’, the decision was made quietly but decisively: Navarro-Mussy would not participate in promotional events or walk the red carpet with the cast.

Reports indicate that Navarro-Mussy faces accusations from three women alleging rape and physical violence occurring between 2018 and 2020.

The claims are serious, and while legal proceedings are ongoing, the festival and the film’s supporters have made it clear they will not wait for a verdict to take a stance.

This situation is notable as it marks the first known instance of Cannes banning an actor due to assault allegations. This decision indicates a broader shift in the film industry, where institutions are increasingly pressured to address such matters seriously.

This year, Cannes introduced a new clause in its selection guidelines aimed at ensuring the safety and dignity of everyone involved in producing films screened at the festival.

As for ‘Dossier 137’, the film remains focused on its narrative, which centers on a profound investigation into a protester’s injury by a police flash-ball grenade. Léa Drucker stars as Stephanie, the lead investigator, in what many critics are labeling one of the festival’s most relevant and politically charged films.

Featuring a cast that includes Jonathan Turnbull, Mathilde Roehrich, Guslagie Malanda, and Stanislas Merhar, the film explores the intricate themes of accountability, power, and state violence—issues that resonate deeply with the ongoing off-screen controversy.
