The Mohanlal-led governing body of the Malayalam film industry association, AMMA, resigned on August 27, 2024, following the release of the explosive Hema Committee report on rampant sexual harassment in the industry. Female actors accused several committee members of misconduct, including General Secretary Siddique, who also stepped down. AMMA's silence on these allegations had drawn public criticism. The committee’s statement expressed hope for renewed leadership, with a general body meeting scheduled in two months to elect a new governing body. The report has triggered more allegations against prominent figures in the Malayalam film industry.
