Malayalam film actor Minu Muneer has come forward with shocking allegations of sexual harassment against prominent stars M Mukesh and Jayasurya. This accusation adds to the growing list of allegations within the south film industry following the Justice K Hema Committee's findings of harassment and abuse of women. The recent resignations of director Ranjith and actor Siddique from the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) further highlight the seriousness of the issue.

In a detailed Facebook post, Minu Muneer claimed that actors Mukesh, Maniyanpilla Raju, Idavela Babu, and Jayasurya subjected her to physical and verbal abuse during the filming of a 2013 movie. She expressed her distress over the trauma she endured and emphasized the need for justice and accountability. The allegations have sparked public outrage, with demands for action against the accused actors, including protests outside Mukesh's residence in Kollam.

Actor Maniyanpilla Raju, one of the accused individuals, has called for a thorough investigation into the allegations, citing potential ulterior motives behind them. Amidst mounting pressure, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has taken action by establishing a special team to investigate the atrocities faced by women actors in the industry. The revelations from the Justice Hema Committee report have shed light on the pervasive harassment and exploitation faced by women in Malayalam cinema, underscoring the urgency for accountability and reform.
