Bollywood actress and producer Pooja Bhatt called out harassment in Indian movie industry and remarked that the industry is brimming with many 'Harvey Weinsteins', the Hollywood mogul against whom many sexual assault charges have surfaced.

The Zakhm actress praised the Academy?s move to expel the Weinstein.

However, she also raised doubt if Bollywood would ever make a similar move. She wrote: ?Many Weinsteins within Bollywood. But would the powers that supposedly govern us ever do what the academy did? Never. Associations LIE here!?

Earlier, Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones had remarked that Harvey Weinstein's fall should be the end of "dinosaur" men preying on women.

The Oscar-winning actress said she hoped Weinstein's disgrace would be the "tipping point, or at last a turning point" in the treatment of women not just in Hollywood but in "any industry, corporation, school or college."

"Let´s hope that big old dinosaur of men thinking they can get away with that sort of behaviour is extinct as of now," she told reporters.
