Pointing out how the country was once led by a woman prime minister, Kamal Haasan says he is ashamed at the apathy shown to women's issues today. That the recent decision of Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) to reinstate rape accused Dileep into the artistes' body was deplorable, hasn't escaped people's notice.

However, the megastar is shocked at how the male actors from the South film industry have maintained a studied silence on the subject. In sharp contrast, several leading ladies of the industry resigned from the guild, accusing it of shielding Dileep.
