within

The

who
had
faced
criticism
for

matter
through
a
Facebook

following
in

Mammootty
Endorses
Committee
Recommendations
and
Calls
for
Industry
Unity

Mammootty’s
post
begins
by
acknowledging
the
recent
controversies
and
developments
that
have
shaken
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
He
stated
that
his
decision
to
remain
silent
until
now
was
a
conscious
one,
grounded
in
the
belief
that
the
actors’
association
and
its
leadership
should
be
the
first
to
respond
to
such
serious
issues.
He
emphasized
that,
as
a
member
of
the
industry,
he
felt
it
was
appropriate
to
wait
for
an
official
response
before
sharing
his
own
views
publicly.

The
actor
highlighted
the
intrinsic
connection
between
cinema
and
society,
noting
that
films
often
reflect
the
broader
social
landscape,
with
all
its
virtues
and
flaws.
Given
this
close
relationship,
Mammootty
stressed
the
importance
of
vigilance
within
the
industry
to
prevent
any
undesirable
incidents.
He
remarked
that
because
the
film
industry
is
closely
scrutinized
by
the
public,
even
minor
incidents
can
lead
to
significant
public
discourse.

Mammootty
also
expressed
his
full
support
for
the
Justice
Hema
Committee,
which
was
established
by
the
government
to
investigate
and
address
the
issues
within
the
film
industry.
He
praised
the
committee’s
efforts
to
study
the
industry’s
dynamics,
prepare
a
comprehensive
report,
and
propose
actionable
solutions.
The
actor
stated
his
strong
endorsement
of
the
report’s
recommendations
and
urged
all
stakeholders
in
the
industry
to
come
together,
setting
aside
any
differences,
to
implement
these
suggestions.

He
further
addressed
the
ongoing
police
investigations
into
the
recent
complaints,
expressing
his
hope
that
the
investigations
would
be
conducted
with
integrity
and
that
the
courts
would
deliver
justice
based
on
the
findings.
Mammootty
dismissed
the
notion
of
“power
centers” within
the
film
industry,
asserting
that
such
entities
have
no
place
in
an
environment
like
cinema.

In
conclusion,
Mammootty
called
for
the
practical
recommendations
of
the
Justice
Hema
Committee
report
to
be
implemented
without
delay.
He
emphasized
the
need
for
legislative
action
if
necessary
to
remove
any
legal
obstacles
that
might
hinder
these
efforts.
The
actor
concluded
his
post
by
underscoring
the
importance
of
ensuring
the
film
industry’s
longevity
and
continued
growth.
