Kangana Ranaut’s comments come after the Justice Hema Committee report was revealed, which made serious allegations of exploitation of women in the Malayalam film industry.
Actress-BJP MP Kangana Ranaut said she had to single-handedly fight for women during the #MeToo movement in the Hindi film industry a few years ago, as many of them stopped speaking publicly because they were pressured. Was. This led the industry to identify her as “problematic”, Kangana said in a new interview.
His comments came after the recent revelations of the Justice Hema Committee report, which was released by the Kerala government last week, four and a half years after it was submitted to the Kerala Chief Minister. The 233-page document, even with the redacted portions, makes serious allegations of discrimination and exploitation faced by women in the Malayalam film industry.Kangana said the report was submitted around the time when Bollywood was rocked by #MeToo, during which several actors, directors, producers were accused of sexual misconduct.
In an interview given to The Lallantop, Kangana said, “I had vocally expressed my views in favor of women. But then his silence was bought with money. I kept looking for them, but they disappeared. Some of them signed some films with the same people and I kept looking for them. Kangana said only a few of the accusers were ‘victims’ of sexual misconduct, but others were willingly participating in nefarious activities. “I am very disappointed in these women. I was left alone and became a problem person,” she said.
The actor claimed that after this the industry turned against him. Kangana said, “Those women came out and then I was trying to create some pressure, but the voices were suppressed.” If this report had been released then all the industries would have united. I was left alone and then they started registering cases, trying to put me behind bars.”
On February 17, 2017, a prominent Malayalam film actress was kidnapped by a group of men and sexually assaulted in her car. A leading actor was later implicated in the case, which sparked outrage across Kerala and called into question the discriminatory treatment of women in the Malayalam film industry.
In response to this incident, the Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) was formed, consisting of female actors, producers, directors and technicians. On May 18, 2017, the WCC presented a petition to the Chief Minister of Kerala demanding an investigation into the incident, and also the larger gender issues plaguing the state’s film industry.
