‘Hope there will be justice’: Amala Paul raises concerns over Hema Committee report in Malayalam cinema

As a passionate admirer of Amala Paul and a firm believer in justice, I wholeheartedly applaud her courageous stance against the rampant sexual misconduct in the Malayalam film industry. Her heartfelt comments on the Hema Committee report echo my own sentiments, leaving me both disturbed and hopeful for change.


Recently, Amala Paul spoke about the Hema Committee report’s revelations and the challenging state of women in the industry. During a conversation with On Manorama, the actress expressed that these disclosures had greatly affected her.

The actress expressed her concerns by saying, “The Hema Committee report brought up some extremely troubling and startling findings. I pray that justice prevails in this case.”

Moreover, Amala Paul praised Women in Collective Cinema (WCC) for their unwavering efforts to ensure the issue they’re addressing gets noticed by the public. She acknowledged the support from the legal system and stressed that the momentum of this report must continue without interruption.

Additionally, the actress expressed her concern that the dire situation shouldn’t be overlooked, with the hope that appropriate measures will be implemented. Her remarks follow the stir caused by the Hema Committee report in the Malayalam film industry.

The unveiling of the redacted report has sparked a wave of accusations from various individuals, both women, men, and transgender, alleging past incidents of sexual misconduct. Notable figures in the film industry, including Jayasurya, Siddique, Mukesh, director Ranjith, among others, have found themselves at the center of these accusations.

With daily allegations intensifying, the Actors’ Association of Malayalam Movies (AMMA) has seen a wave of resignations, led by its president Mohanlal. In response to mounting accusations against several key members, the association has chosen to dissolve itself altogether.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that Mohanlal made his first public appearance in Thiruvananthapuram on August 31, 2024. To address speculations about his absence during such a period, the actor explained that he had personal and work commitments to attend to.

Additionally, the actor has emphasized that he hasn’t fled anywhere and clarified that he has already provided statements for the Hema Committee report. Since the group is currently dissolved, a new administration is anticipated to be established within the next two months, led by fresh management.
