The issue of sexual harassment in the Indian film industry, particularly in Malayalam cinema, has gained significant attention with the release of the Justice Hema panel report. The report sheds light on the prevalent sexual harassment faced by women in the Malayalam film industry, sparking discussions not only in South Indian cinema but across the entire Indian film fraternity.
The revelations in the Hema Committee report have sent shockwaves through the Malayalam industry, prompting many actresses to come forward and share their own experiences of harassment. Allegations have surfaced against several prominent actors and directors in Malayalam cinema, further amplifying the urgency of addressing this pervasive issue.
The impact of the report has reverberated beyond regional boundaries, making headlines across India. In a surprising turn of events, actor Mohanlal has resigned from his position as the president of the Malayalam film artists’ association ‘Amma’, leading to the resignation of all members of the executive committee. This move, coupled with the findings of the Hema Committee inquiry, has left the industry reeling.
Actress Parvathy has been vocal in her criticism of the resignations within Amma, denouncing them as acts of cowardice. In an interview, she expressed her dismay at the lack of accountability and leadership within the actors’ union, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive and responsible leadership to address the systemic issues at hand.
