The Hema Committee report`s findings has left the Malayalam film industry in shock. While the report was submitted to the Kerala government in 2019, the content of the same was made public only last week following an order by the Kerala High Court. However, the court also demanded that no names be revealed. Post the report went public, shocking details of sexual harassment against female artists in the Malayalam film industry surfaced. 

Prithviraj demands strong probe and action:

Three-time Kerala State Film Best Actor award winner Prithviraj minced no words on Monday as he categorically sought a probe into the findings of the Hema Committee report on the conditions and sexual exploitation of women in the Malayalam film industry and "strong" action against the wrongdoers while observing that there have been lapses by the Association of Malayalam Movies Artistes (AMMA).  "How it will affect, I do not know and if it has to affect, it should. There should be a proper probe into the report and if the allegations against someone are proven right, very strong action should be there and at the same time, if proven wrong, the same strong action should be made against those who raised it," he said.
