After the Hema Committee report, many actresses leveled serious allegations against the actors. There have been allegations of sexual exploitation of female actors in the Malayalam film industry for quite some time now. A 3-member committee headed by retired Justice Hema was constituted in 2019 to investigate this. After 4 years, on 19 August, the Hema Committee handed over a 233-page report to the Kerala government, which exposed exploitation by several big actors. Ever since the Justice Hema Committee report came out, actresses in the Malayalam film industry have been constantly accusing many big actors and filmmakers.
