Malayalam superstar Mammootty is the latest celeb to break his silence on the Hema Committee report. It is not a hidden fact that the report has unearthed some shocking allegations of sexual misconduct and misogyny in the Malayalam industry. Taking to his Facebook account, the actor said that he abides by the report’s findings and proper investigation should be conducted on the allegations. Recently Mohanlal also reacted to the Hema Committee report after resigning as the president of the AMMA.
In his social media post, Mammootty agreed with the solutions in the Hema Committee. However, he disagreed with the mention of a ‘power group’ in the Malayalam industry which was stated in the report. The Bramayugam actor said the movie industry is not a field wherein a power group can exist. He stated, “Ultimately, the film industry must survive.”
Mammootty further said he was waiting for the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists, aka AMMA, and its members to respond before breaking his silence on this severe issue. Speaking on the various sexual misconduct allegations on the Hema Committee, the Puthan Panam actor said, “Cinema is a cross-section of society. All of society’s good and bad are present in cinema too. But the film industry is also closely observed by society, which is why every small and big thing that happens there becomes a major subject of discussion.”
