It is known that the Hema Committee Report has castigated the Malayalam film industry for being a horrible workplace for women. The prevalence of sexual harassment of women in Mollywood has been highlighted by the report.
In a recent interview, Malayalam actress Shakeela said that the Telugu film industry is guilty of the same problem that plagues Mollywood to a much greater extent. "The sexual harassment of women in Tollywood is extreme," she has been quoted as saying by News18.
Shakeela also said that even the Tamil film industry is no stranger to casting couch and related offences that make the industry an unsafe place for aspiring actresses.
In recent days, the Hema Report has hogged national media headlines. Netizens are of the view that a similar committee must be instituted by the Government of Maharashtra to expose the prevalence of sexual harassment in the Hindi film industry.
