00:00So, how do you respond to all the allegations?
00:03Now, the Me Too has been hitting the panayogus cinema industry very hard.
00:08So, how do you respond to all the allegations?
00:10Like, what should be the future course of action?
00:12I have been responding to it for the last 10 minutes actually.
00:15I would like to respond to that question.
00:17It's for AMF.
00:19Look, all of them need to be taken into account quite seriously.
00:22Absolutely.
00:23I mean, if allegations have been made,
00:26thorough investigations need to be followed up with.
00:29And if these investigations lead to the allegations being proven right, proven correct,
00:35there has to be exemplary punishments handed out.
00:38On the other hand, if the allegations are false,
00:41even then there will have to be exemplary punishments handed out on the other side of it.
00:45Either way, these allegations need to be treated with the utmost seriousness.
00:50And I truly hope that this is the beginning of a process
00:55that will clear up all the work that there is in front of us.
00:58In terms of the doubts, inhibitions, how we work, and everything.
01:02Mr. Prithviraj, as you said earlier,
01:04here it is.
01:05Excuse me.
01:06As you said earlier,
01:07the person who was working with you,
01:09when it came to the investigation,
01:11he gave a statement to the police.
01:13Similarly, he gave another statement to the court.
01:15I saw that incident in Tamil Nadu.
01:17I can give an answer to that.
01:19The statement he gave to the police,
01:21and the statement he gave to the court,
01:23both are statements that you said to me.
01:26Is it true that you gave a statement based on that statement?
01:30Is it?
01:32Or is it not?
01:34Two days before the Hema Commission report came out,
01:39the organisations decided what the actions of this protest were and what the event was.
01:46At that time, the press also decided that there was a similar situation.
01:51When the report came out,
01:53the press will definitely ask questions about it.
01:56As far as I know,
01:57when I first told the organisations,
01:59after the press meet,
02:01they should have the opportunity to ask questions about it.
02:04I should have time to give answers.
02:06After that,
02:07they should schedule the next event.
02:09I have already said that.
02:11Ask me.
02:12Today,
02:13based on a press meet like this,
02:15I decided not to proceed with a generic social media statement.
02:30Hello.
02:33After the Hema Commission report came out,
02:36the sales have been declining.
02:39How do you know about this?
02:41How will it affect the cinema industry?
02:43How will it affect the superstars?
02:45I don't know.
02:46It should affect in the same way.
02:48If there is a demand,
02:52there should be a lot of investigations.
02:55After the investigation,
02:56there should be a lot of punishments for the children.
03:00In the same way,
03:01there should be a place for it.
03:11That is why I said that
03:12if there is a demand,
03:14there should be an investigation.
03:18I don't know the name of the victim.
03:20I don't even know if he is a hunter.
03:25But there will be a problem if he goes there.
03:27Of course.
03:28There will be a process for that.
03:30If he goes there,
03:31he will have to pay for everything.
03:33His job,
03:34his portion,
03:35his family,
03:36everything will be ruined.
03:38I believe that process is right.
03:40That is the process that will affect the cinema industry.
03:43That is why I said that
03:44if there is a demand,
03:45there should be an investigation.
03:47If there is an investigation,
03:48and if the crime is proven,
03:50there should be a lot of punishment.
03:52Not only that,
03:53if it is proven that the allegations were false,
03:57there should be a lot of punishment.
04:00Yes.
04:06I will speak now.
04:17According to the law of our country,
04:19only the names of the victims should be protected.
04:22There is no law in our country
04:24to protect the names of the accused.
04:28I don't think that there is any law to protect that.
04:31So it is up to the government.
04:33I don't know if I should or you should
04:35release the reports of the committee.
04:37It is up to the people sitting in the audience.
04:39By all means.
04:40Raju,
04:41when you saw this report,
04:43you had a feeling that
04:44there was a struggle between you and the cinema industry.
04:47You had a feeling that
04:48there was something going on inside the cinema.
04:50This is what I felt.
04:51When I first spoke to the HEMA commissioner,
04:53he said that
04:55this report was submitted
04:57to conduct a comprehensive study
04:59on the problems faced by women in the cinema industry
05:02and how to create a safe work space
05:05through it.
05:06This is what I wanted to know.
05:08Why am I asking you to publish this report?
05:12If you have identified the people who have committed crimes,
05:15what is going to happen next?
05:17I would like to know what is going to happen next.
05:20Mr. Raju,
05:21your colleague, Samantha,
05:23has made a big mistake.
05:25We all agree with her.
05:27That day,
05:28your colleague,
05:30Sadanaya Amma,
05:32said that she would take a very good decision.
05:35But later,
05:36she was saddened by that.
05:38She complained again.
05:40Those complaints are still there.
05:42No one has taken a look at them.
05:44There has been a change in you.
05:46A woman who worked with you,
05:48today,
05:49she is not saying her name.
05:51She sent you an email a few years ago.
05:54There is a change in you.
05:56There is a change in you.
05:58There is a change in you.
06:00Of course,
06:01there is no doubt that
06:03this is a crime.
06:13Give me the mic.
06:18Hello,
06:19who are you?
06:20Who are you?
06:21Give me the mic.
06:22Now,
06:23Amma,
06:24when you were acting,
06:26you took a strong stand
06:28in front of the audience.
06:30Now,
06:31Amma is taking a strong stand.
06:33She is thinking about it.
06:35What is the situation
06:37that you are trying to solve?
06:39What is the situation
06:41that I am trying to solve?
06:43What is my control?
06:45What is the workspace
06:47that I can promise you
06:49to make secure?
06:51The workspace around me
06:53is the only safe space for me.
06:55But,
06:56I don't want to say
06:58that I am not involved.
07:00I am not involved.
07:02I am not involved.
07:04It's my responsibility.
07:06That's the main statement
07:08that you are making.
07:10It's not my responsibility
07:12to make it a situation
07:14where I am not involved.
07:16As I said, there is no point in finding a headline in today's prime time or finding a cliffhanger in today's prime time.
07:25We both have to be equally invested in this. Isn't it? Isn't that how it should be?
07:32Mr. Prithviraj, you have been accused of being a co-operative in a case against you.
07:40You have come forward with a power group of 400 people.
07:43In that group, there is a power authority that can control everyone.
07:48If I say that such a power authority group is not enough for me,
07:53I cannot say that such a power group does not exist.
07:57I have not come to face them. I have not been affected by them.
08:02If there are people who have been affected by them, their grievances should be heard.
08:07If such a body is working, it should disappear.
08:10But if I have to say that it exists, I have to say that I have experienced it directly.
08:15Since I have not experienced it, I cannot say that such a group does not exist.
08:20I hope you get what I mean.
08:22Raju, a stand from the mother's side is enough.
08:26Siddique said that it is a separate matter.
08:28But Siddique himself has to step down.
08:30A stand from the mother's side is enough.
08:32I have said that now.
08:34Of course, there should be a strong support from the mother's side.
08:39After Siddique's death, there is a demand for a stand from the mother's side.
08:44Do you think that the stand should be removed?
08:48If there is a demand for a stand from the mother's side,
08:52it should be done in a respectful manner.
08:56It should be accepted that the stand should be removed.
08:59That is what we should do.
09:01Because when we take a stand, when we take a position of power,
09:04I believe that we should not pursue an investigation.
09:08That is what we should do.
09:31All of them need to be taken into account quite seriously.
09:34Absolutely.
09:35If allegations have been made, thorough investigations need to be followed up with.
09:41And if these investigations lead to the allegations being proven right, proven correct,
09:47there has to be exemplary punishments handed out.
09:50On the other hand, if the allegations are false,
09:53even then there will have to be exemplary punishments handed out on the other side of it.
09:57Either way, these allegations need to be treated with the utmost seriousness.
10:02And I truly hope that this is the beginning of a process
10:06that will clear up all the work that is in front of us,
10:09in terms of doubts, inhibitions, how we work and everything.
10:14Mr. Prithviraj, what you said earlier,
10:16here it is, excuse me.
10:18What you said earlier,
10:19the person who worked with you,
10:21when it came to the investigation,
10:23he gave a voice to the police,
10:24and the same person gave another voice to the court.
10:26How do you see that incident?
10:28I can give an answer to that.
10:30The voice given to the police,
10:32and the voice given to the court,
10:34both are the same.
10:35What you said is not the same.
10:37Based on what you said,
10:39is it right to give a remark here?
10:41Is it?
10:43If not, what is your opinion?
10:45With or without the mic?
