The members of WCC were quite happy with the result of the meeting are looking forward to work with the organization.
Malayalam superstar Dileep’s controversy of abduction and sexual harassment of an actress has kept the onlookers on the edge of the seat. Recently, Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA)’s decision to reinstate the accused star in the organization received backlash by Women in Cinema Collective (WCC). Actresses like Revathy, Padmapriya and Parvathy were agitated by President of AMMA, actor Mohanlal’s decision to reinstate him. Now, both the organizations held a collective meeting to ponder over the whole issue. AMMA has decided to agree with WCC and will take necessary steps.
AMMA representative said in a press meet, “We were not very serious as an organisation for the longest time, because nothing warranted it. But now, we have decided to make it more professional. We have considered all their [WCC] issues and we know that these are weighty issues. We will have a general body meeting following this executive meeting. They will be given a platform to express everything. We still have a lot of issues to discuss."
Not only this, Mohanlal also revealed that they made a mistake by taking the decision of reinstating Dileep. The members of WCC were quite happy with the result of the meeting are looking forward to work with the organization.
A few days ago, Dileep's ex-wife and actress Manju Warrier also made revelations on the case. She said that she stands by her friend (assaulted actress) and is totally against Dileep.
There were also rumors that she has exited the WCC organisation. However, the controversy was put to rest when it was clarified that she is still very much a part of that organisation. She also further said that she is not going to clarify her stance to the public and on social media over again and again.
A Malayalam actor was abducted and allegedly sexually assaulted when she was traveling to Kochi from Thrissur in her car. She lodged a complaint at the Nedumbassery police station with the help of the director. Dileep was soon arrested for his alleged involvement in the high profile case.
