The Malayalam movie industry took a bold and much-needed step last year when a committee by the name of Hema was established to unearth the dark side of some influential and powerful personalities of the film fraternity. A lot of cases of sexual harassment came into light.
As per a report by The Hindu, the Kerala Police won't be investigating the matters further as the survivors haven't provided them with their statements. There are at least 30 cases that have reached chargesheet level and proceedings against those personalities are going. The names include Mukesh, Maniyanpilla Raju, and director Ranjith.

Actress Parvathy Thiruvothu has now tagged the Kerala CM on her Instagram story and slammed him by saying, 'Now can we focus on the actual reason this Committee was formed. Putting policies in place to help make regulations in the industry? What is happening with that CMO Kerala? No rush eh, it has been only five-and-a-half years since the report was submitted.'
In the wake of various sexual allegations cropping up against many of its members, all office-bearers of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) including its president and top actor Mohanlal, resigned from their positions last year.
In a statement, the association said the administrative panel resigned as such, taking moral responsibility for the allegations.
Hema Commission's report exposed some shocking revelations about the Malayalam Film Industry, known for its out-of-the-box yet relevant stories. The report was also an expose of the toxicity of the people that work there and how they had been misusing their power and clout to prey on women that have the desire to act and be on celluloid.
