00:00Thanks for watching.
00:30I was little scared to give complaint at the time.
00:51So I thought that even if I give complaint also, I understood that these people are very
00:55big people and they may influence the highly officials and then I will be into danger.
01:02I'll be in problem.
01:03Even my, I have two children and they are studying in school and it will affect their
01:08studies also.
01:09They understand better keep quiet and just vanish away from this Kerala.
01:25You can see a talented girls performing in the Facebook, but they are scared to come
01:36to film industry.
01:37Why?
01:38Because some seniors are dominating the Amma Association and film industry.
01:42So when they come, they should share the bed means the teenage girls.
01:48They can't think about the new generation.
01:51They can't think about it.
02:17If there is a wrongdoing, if there is something like this, which is happening and the women
02:23accept that, yes, this has happened and men come across and say, yes, we have made a mistake.
02:27Punish them.
02:29Send a very strict message across that men cannot fool around with the dignity, integrity
02:38and respectability of a woman.
02:41Everybody is talking about that.
02:43Okay.
02:44There's a me too moment.
02:45There is a sex scandal which has happened in Mollywood and this is what the cinema is
02:49about.
02:50Why nobody questions the government that if this case, if this report was ready five years
02:54ago, what stopped you or who stopped you from releasing this report five years ago?
03:00I'm glad for that, that it's going to send shivers down the spine of the men who probably
03:16even have this kind of a mentality.
03:18You know, they always say that karma is going to come back to you in this birth.
03:22And this this report, definitely this kind of an outburst.
03:27There was a bottle of soda which was shaken up so much that the cover had to go off on
03:34its own.
03:35So this is kind of a volcano which has erupted.
03:38And I'm glad it did.
03:42Because next time, everybody is going to be very, very careful about it.
