The word RAPE is being used to compliment a person's acting skills by a filmmaker. Do you understand what 'RAPE' really means to some people? Intentions might be ambiguous, but using the word Rape in such contexts will give a wrong message to the society, where rapes have become very common. When will some politicians, filmmakers, celebrities and others realize this??

One of the recent incidents had one of the filmmakers complimenting an actor using the word Rape. Here is the full story.: 

The audio function of Peranbu in which Mammootty is playing the lead role was organized recently. Actor Siddharth, Andrea Jeremiah, Vasanth Ravi, Vetrimaran, Bala, Karu Pazhaniappan, Aadhik Ravichandran, Bharathiraja, KS Ravikumar, Mysskin, AL Vijay, Aram Gopi Nainaar and others had marked their presence in the audio event.

Director Mysskin, who is known for his dark stories had to address the gathering. While complimenting Mammootty for his performance in the movie, Mysskin told, I was not able to take my eyes off Mammootty. I would have fallen for him if he were a girl. Actually, I would have raped him for his beautiful performance. This comments had shocked everyone.

Mysskin even tried to cover the comments he had made, but the damage has already happened. Is this the way a responsible filmmaker even talks? People should stop considering the word RAPE so carelessly. RAPE is not a joke. Rape is not a word used to compliment someone. Rape is unacceptable.
