There is uproar over the allegations of sexual harassment, Mammootty broke his silence, said- there is no powerhouse group…

There has been an uproar since the Hema Committee’s report on sexual harassment in the Malayalam industry. There have been continuous statements and resignations. Malayalam cinema superstar Mammootty has also broken his silence on this matter. He released a statement through his Facebook account and said that let the police do their work and let the court decide what punishment should be given to the culprits.

Mammootty made a request

Mammootty has also rejected the idea of ​​there being any powerhouse in the industry. According to the report of Hema Committee, there is a powerhouse group in Malayalam cinema, which includes all the big names. This group decides which actress will be given work. All decisions are taken at its behest.

Mammootty wrote in his statement- I wholeheartedly welcome and support the recommendations and solutions given in the Hema Committee report. Now the time has come for all the organizations of the film industry to join hands and implement them. Police investigation is going on on the complaints that have come. The full version of the Justice Hema Committee report is before the court. The police should investigate honestly. Let the court decide the punishment.

Refusal to be a powerhouse

There is no ‘powerhouse’ in cinema. Cinema is not a field where such things can happen. If there are legal hurdles then the practical recommendations of the Hema Committee report should be implemented. After all, cinema must survive. The way of the organisation is that the organisation and its leadership should react first. I believe that I should give my opinion as a member only after such reactions, so I waited so long.

Let us tell you, earlier Mohanlal had also said after resigning from AMMA as President that ‘I have come to talk about what is happening in the industry. I will express my views on this. My wife has undergone surgery. Also, I was busy with the promotion of my upcoming film and was not able to talk. I am not running away. I have given my statement to the HEMA Committee. They asked me questions and I have told them everything I knew.’

Let us tell you, in the report of Hema Committee which came after 5 years, many actresses have accused actors-directors and producers of Malayalam cinema of sexual harassment. Many members of AMMA were also accused of sexual harassment. After the report of Hema Committee, taking moral responsibility of the allegations of sexual harassment against some members of the governing body, the entire governing body of AMMA has resigned.
