Quick Summary

If you've received a show cause notice from your employer for acting in films, it's crucial to respond carefully. While company policy might prohibit dual employment, you can clarify that your acting is a hobby pursued outside work hours, not for financial gain, and doesn't impact your job performance. It's advisable to formally communicate this to management and consider seeking legal advice to ensure your reply addresses all concerns effectively.

The question is whether the acting is affecting your performance or discharge of duties in the company and/or there is such averments in the Show Cause Notice.

What are the contents of the Showcause notice? You are interested in acting in films but not for money, I opine, you have to inform in writing to the Management of the company.

You are doing the work for filming, as stated by you, whether the job is similar to the company (employer's) aims/ objectives / functions ?
It would be advisable to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for better analyses of facts/ documents, professional guidance and necessary proceeding.

Acting occasionally in film is not employment. Reply show cause that you were not employed, not earning, no time of company was wasted, it was a part of hobby.
