A day after Mohanlal addressed the Hema committee report on broader issues in the Malayalam film industry, including challenges faced by women, actor Mammootty shared his views in a Facebook post on Sunday, 1 September 2024. His opinions are closely aligned with Mohanlal’s.
Mammootty expressed his support for the Hema committee report and noted that he had been awaiting the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes’ response before sharing his own views. Like Mohanlal, he dismissed the existence of any ‘power group’ in the industry, as suggested in the report.
He remarked that the film industry, reflecting society at large, is subject to intense scrutiny. Thus, both significant and minor issues become focal points of public discussion. He emphasised the need for vigilance among film professionals to prevent any misconduct. Mammootty acknowledged the Hema committee’s role in investigating an incident that should never have occurred and expressed support for the report’s recommendations.
Mammootty urged the film industry associations to collaborate in implementing these recommendations. He also noted that the police investigation into recent allegations is proceeding effectively and that the full report is with the court. He called for honest investigations and proper legal proceedings, stressing the importance of implementing the committee’s practical recommendations and enacting necessary legislation. He concluded by affirming the necessity of preserving the industry.
Both actors have faced criticism for their initial silence on the Hema committee report, which was released on 19 August 2024. Mohanlal’s comments on Saturday had also acknowledged that issues prevalent in other sectors are mirrored in cinema.
