Samantha says "I hope this marks just the beginning of a much-needed transformation"
Actor samantha stated that women in the film industry owe the women in cinema Collective (WCC) "a debt of gratitude" in response to the second wave of #MeToo in malayalam cinema following the release of the hema Committee report. The hema Committee was formed as a result of the WCC's demands for government action during a meeting with chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan in 2017.
Samantha said, “For years, I’ve followed the incredible work of the WCC in Kerala. Their journey has been anything but easy. Now, as the serious implications of the hema Committee report come to light, we owe a debt of gratitude to WCC.”
The actor added, “A safe and respectful workplace should be the bare minimum, yet many have to battle for it. But their efforts have not been in vain. I hope this marks just the beginning of a much-needed transformation. My love and respect go out to my friends and sisters in WCC.”
The malayalam film industry is experiencing a second #MeToo wave as a result of the study. Prominent individuals have been identified as the culprits, including general secretary Siddique, vice-president Jayan R, and joint secretary Baburaj, all three of whom are members of the executive committee of the Association of malayalam movie Artists (A.M.M.A.).
On august 27, seventeen executive committee members resigned from their positions, including vice president Jagadish, president of A.M.M.A. Mohanlal, and Jayan R. Baburaj.
