The Movie Artistes Association of the Malayali Industry is currently engulfed in a storm of controversy as members resign from their posts one by one. The release of the Justice Hema Committee report has sparked intense reactions from Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada celebrities, with Superstar Rajinikanth recently adding his voice to the discussion.
The report by the Justice Hema Committee is expected to shake the foundations of the film industry, as it sheds light on alleged cases of sexual harassment faced by actresses and accusations against senior actors. Two actors have had non-bailable cases registered against them in connection with the report.
Tamil actor Vishal has called for similar committees in Kollywood, expressing shock at the unfolding events. The silence of senior Kerala actors Mohanlal and Mammootty on the matter has drawn scrutiny, prompting responses from them following public criticism.
The controversy has not been limited to the Malayali industry, with questions arising from the Tamil film industry regarding the need for similar measures. Netizens have expressed surprise and disappointment at Rajinikanth’s apparent lack of awareness surrounding the issue, criticizing his stance.
In a further development, actor Jayasuriya faces a non-bailable case based on a complaint from a Malayali actress, while similar action is expected against actor Siddique and director Ranjith.
Actresses including Radhika Sarathkumar, Khushboo, Ranjani, Amalapal, and Samantha have shared their perspectives on the Hema Committee report, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
Amidst the turmoil, the industry awaits further responses and actions as the repercussions of the report reverberate across the film community.
