Bollywood ke baad, ab Malayalam film industry mein bhi MeToo ka toofan aaya hai! Aur iss toofan ke beech mein, superstar Mohanlal ne Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) ke president post se istifa de diya hai. Yeh khabar 25 August 2024 ko aayi hai, jab poori film industry hil gayi thi Hema Committee ki report ke aane se. Chaliye jaante hain kya hai poora mamla aur kaise ek report ne pure Malayalam cinema ko hila kar rakh diya.
AMMA Mein Bhauchaal: Mohanlal Ka Istifa
Superstar Mohanlal, jo ki Malayalam cinema ke sabse bade sitaron mein se ek hain, ne achanak se AMMA ke president post se istifa de diya. Lekin sirf Mohanlal hi nahi, balki poori executive committee ne bhi apne pado se istifa de diya hai. Yeh decision us waqt aaya jab Hema Committee ki report public hui, jisme Malayalam film industry mein sexual harassment ke kai cases ke baare mein baat ki gayi thi.
Hema Committee Report: Khulasa Jo Hila Dene Wala Tha
Hema Committee ki report ne Malayalam film industry ke kaale sach ko saamne la diya. Iss report mein kaha gaya ki industry mein casting couch, pay disparities, aur exploitation jaise mudde bahut aam hain. Report ke public hone ke baad, kai female actors ne senior actors aur filmmakers par sexual misconduct ke aarop lagaye.
Iss report ne na sirf industry ke andar, balki puri Kerala society mein bhi halchal macha di. Log pooch rahe the ki itne saalon se yeh sab chal raha tha, aur kisi ne kuch kyon nahi kaha? Yeh sawal sirf aam public nahi, balki industry ke andar ke log bhi pooch rahe the.
Big Names in Trouble: Kaun Kaun Hai Aarop Ke Ghere Mein?
Report ke baad, kai bade naam aarop ke ghere mein aa gaye. Actor Siddique, jo AMMA ke General Secretary the, unhe bhi apne post se istifa dena pada jab ek female actor ne unpar sexual misconduct ka aarop lagaya. Siddique ne ek TV channel se baat karte hue kaha, “Haan, maine officially apna resignation AMMA ke president Mohanlal ko de diya hai. Kyunki mere khilaaf allegations the, maine socha ki main iss post par nahi rehna chahiye.”
Siddique ke alawa, filmmakers Ranjith, Thulasidas, aur actors jaise Jayasurya, Mukesh, Maniyanpilla Raju, Edavela Babu aur Suraj Venjaramoodu par bhi female actors ne aarop lagaye hain. Yeh naam industry ke well-established log hain, jo batata hai ki problem kitni gehri hai.
Silent Giants: Kahan Hain Industry Ke Bade Log?
Jab itna bada scandal hua, toh log poochne lage ki Mammootty, Fahadh Faasil jaise bade stars kahan hain? Unka chup rehna bhi sawalon ke ghere mein aa gaya. Kya yeh log industry mein ho rahi galat cheezon ko ignore kar rahe the? Ya phir unhe darr tha ki bolne se unki image kharab ho jayegi?
AMMA Ka Future: Kya Hoga Aage?
Ab jab poori executive committee resign kar chuki hai, toh sawal yeh hai ki AMMA ka future kya hoga? Association ne kaha hai ki do mahine ke andar ek general body meeting bulayi jayegi jahan naye leaders chune jayenge. Lekin kya yeh naye leaders industry mein real change la payenge?
Industry mein ab yeh discussion ho rahi hai ki naye leaders ko kaise chuna jaye. Kya unhe gender-sensitive hona chahiye? Kya unhe pehle se hi anti-harassment policies pe kaam karna chahiye? Yeh sab sawal abhi bhi air mein hain.
Women In Cinema: Kya Badlega Unke Liye?
Iss poore issue mein sabse important baat yeh hai ki isse women in cinema ke liye kya badlega. Kya ab unhe safe workplace milega? Kya unki complaints ko seriously liya jayega? Aur sabse important, kya unhe equal opportunities milegi?
Kai female actors ka kehna hai ki yeh sirf shuruaat hai. Abhi bahut kuch karna baaki hai. Unka maanna hai ki sirf kuch logon ke resign karne se kuch nahi hoga, balki poore system mein change lana hoga.
Public Reaction: Log Kya Soch Rahe Hain?
Social media pe log apni raay de rahe hain. Kuch log keh rahe hain ki yeh bahut der se hua action hai, jabki kuch log ise ek positive step maan rahe hain. Twitter aur Instagram pe #MalayalamMeToo trend kar raha hai.
Ek user ne likha, “Finally AMMA ne kuch action liya. Lekin yeh sirf shuruaat hai. Abhi bahut kuch karna baaki hai.” Dusre user ne kaha, “Mohanlal jaise big star ka resign karna dikhata hai ki issue kitna serious hai.”
Way Forward: Kya Hoga Aage?
Ab jab itna bada change ho chuka hai, toh industry ko aage kya karna chahiye? Experts ka kehna hai ki sabse pehle toh ek strong anti-harassment policy banani hogi. Dusra, gender sensitization workshops regular basis pe honi chahiye.
Kuch log yeh bhi suggest kar rahe hain ki har film set pe ek sexual harassment committee honi chahiye jo kisi bhi complaint ko turant address kar sake. Aur sabse important, industry ko apne andar ki “boys club” mentality ko change karna hoga.
Conclusion: Ek Naye Daur Ki Shuruaat?
Mohanlal aur AMMA executive committee ka resign karna shayad ek naye daur ki shuruaat ho sakti hai Malayalam film industry ke liye. Lekin yeh sirf tab hoga jab real change ke liye honest efforts honge. Abhi yeh dekhna baaki hai ki new leadership kya steps leti hai aur kaise industry ko ek safe aur equal jagah banaya jata hai sabke liye.
Yeh issue sirf Malayalam cinema tak seemit nahi hai. Isse poore Indian cinema ko seekhna chahiye aur apne yahan bhi aisi policies laani chahiye jo sabko safe aur equal environment de sake. Ummeed hai ki yeh ek turning point sabit hoga na sirf Malayalam cinema ke liye, balki poore Indian entertainment industry ke liye.
