Actor Mohanlal has resigned as the president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) following the release of the Justice Hema Committee report and subsequent sexual harassment allegations against some executive committee members. This decision marks a significant moment in the Malayalam film industry, which is currently grappling with serious accusations and demands for accountability.

Key Takeaways

  • Mohanlal and all executive members of AMMA have resigned.
  • The resignations follow the release of the Justice Hema Committee report on harassment in the Malayalam film industry.
  • A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to investigate the allegations.
  • Actress Minu Muneer has accused several co-stars of sexual harassment.
  • The Kerala government is taking steps to address the issue.

Resignation of Mohanlal and Executive Members

Mohanlal, a prominent figure in the Malayalam film industry, announced his resignation as AMMA president. He communicated his decision to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The resignation comes in the wake of the Justice Hema Committee report, which highlighted discrimination and harassment faced by women in the industry.

Formation of Special Investigation Team

In response to the report, the Kerala government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the allegations. The SIT has been strengthened with additional women officers, and all related cases registered at local police stations will be handed over to this team for further investigation.

Allegations by Minu Muneer

On August 26, actress Minu Muneer made serious allegations of sexual harassment against several co-stars, including M Mukesh, Jayasurya, Maniyanpilla Raju, and Idavela Babu. Muneer detailed her experiences of verbal and physical abuse during the filming of movies. She also spoke about the challenges she faced in obtaining AMMA membership and being denied roles.

Previous Resignations and Public Reaction

The controversy has led to a series of resignations within AMMA. Director Ranjith and actor Siddique stepped down from their positions following accusations against them. The public release of a redacted version of the Justice Hema Committee report earlier this month has further fueled the demand for accountability and reform within the industry.

Government’s Response

The Kerala government is actively addressing the issue. The SIT’s formation and the inclusion of additional women officers signify a serious commitment to investigating and resolving the allegations. The government aims to ensure a safer and more equitable working environment for women in the Malayalam film industry.
