Mammootty has finally broken his silence about the Hema Committee Report and the sexual harassment cases in the Kerala Film Industry. Taking to Facebook, the Malayalam superstar welcomed the report and extended his support to the changes that need to be brought about to make the industry a better place to work in. He said, “I wholeheartedly welcome and support the recommendations and solutions said in the Hema Committee report. It is time for all associations in the film industry to join hands and implement them.”

He urged everyone to allow the police to do their investigations and let the court decide the punishments. “On the complaints that have been raised now police investigation is progressing. The full version of the Justice Hema Committee report is before the court. Let the police investigate honestly. Let the court decide the punishments,” Mammootty said.

The practical recommendations of Hema Committee report must be enacted if there are legal hurdles. Ultimately cinema must survive. The organisation way is that organisation and its leadership should react first. I believe that I should give my opinion as a member only after such responses, that is why I waited this long.”
