Mohanlal and Revathy
Actor-filmmaker Revathy is aghast at South icon Mohanlal's comment that the #MeToo movement is a fad. While speaking at a recent event, the Malayalam superstar said, "There's no big problem in the Malayalam industry... You shouldn't think of the #MeToo as a movement actually. It’s a fad and it's turning into something of a fashion. Anything like that will have a lifespan for a bit," said Mohanlal at a press conference in Dubai. He further added: "It [sexual misconduct] can happen anywhere in life, not just in films."
