Tollywood pushes back against online abuse

Entertainment Jan 02, 2026

The Bengali film industry is calling out online harassment, asking Kolkata Police to step in after filmmakers and actors faced targeted attacks on social media—especially during movie releases.
These incidents have even dragged in family members and crossed the line with abusive comments and doctored images.

Film community wants real consequences

Industry leaders, including EIMPA president Piya Sengupta, met with police and cyber crime officials to demand action against rating manipulation and image tampering.
The community is hoping for strict punishment for offenders, aiming to make online spaces safer and more respectful for everyone involved in Tollywood.
