India's biggest movement against sexual misconduct #MeToo had unearthed a can of worms which led to many people being sacked from their positions in various industries including top actors and filmmakers in Bollywood. But one fight that refuses to die down is the one between dubbing union in Tamil film industry and popular singer-dubbing artist Chinmayi Sripada. The popular singer had voiced out few scary and scarring incidents she faced during her long career which led to her being expelled from the dubbing union. Chinmayi had also corroborated many stories during the #MeToo movement which included young singers who were getting trained by renowned personalities in Carnatic music. However, Chinmayi is now forced into a fight with the dubbing union which now says that Chinmayi will have to pay a fine of Rs 1.5 lakh and apologize to the union for going 'against' them during the #MeToo movement.
Apparently I have to pay 1.5 Lakhs, send an apology letter and THEN the dubbing Union will reinstate me and let me work in Tamilnadu in Tamil films.
The Union has made lakhs from my Income since 2006. And I have to pay 1.5 lakhs again for my right to work. https://t.co/JHt6ajU1D3

Chinmayi has stood strong during this period and has voiced out her opinion about the 'process' a dubbing artist has to follow if they were to stay with the union. The popular singer is now questioning the rule of penalising an artist for speaking out and has been receiving support from all quarters in Tamil cinema. Chinmayi has been in a long battle with veterans in the industry like lyricist Vairamuthu and actor Radha Ravi in the #MeToo movement.
