Mammootty stated that he wholeheartedly welcomes and supports the instructions and solutions provided in the report.

He added that this is the time for all of the film fraternity to come together to welcome the suggestions made by the report and help with the implementation of it.

“The investigation into the allegations is being properly carried out by the police,” Mammootty wrote, adding that the full report is in front of the court.

In the last line of his Facebook post he wrote “Ultimately, cinema should survive.”

Both Mohanlal and Mammootty, two of the biggest names in Malayalam cinema had come under scrutiny for not responding to the allegations against the Malayalam film industry put forward by the report. Even after the big M’s broke their silence, none of their responses seemed to have touched the core of the issue.

The release of the Hema Committee report has triggered something similar to the #Metoo movement with several women coming out and raising serious allegations of sexual abuse against noted filmmakers and actors in the Malayalam cinema.

As many as 18 cases have been registered so far against prominent actors and filmmakers including actor and CPIM MLA Mukesh, actor-director and former chairman of Kerala Chalachitra Academy Ranjith, actor and former general secretary of AMMA Siddique and actor Jayasurya.
