The call for action comes in the wake of a significant report from the Justice Hema Committee, which has shaken the Malayalam film industry. This report has prompted many to share their experiences of sexual abuse. Manchu’s request for a commission reflects a broader demand for a thorough investigation into similar issues within the Telugu film industry.

Actress Samantha recently voiced her support for gender equality in the workplace. In a social media post, she highlighted the importance of addressing gender discrimination following the release of the Justice Hema Committee report. Samantha noted that the report equates any form of gender discrimination with sexual harassment and calls for a transparent system to combat gender inequality. She urged the government and film organizations to work together to create a gender-neutral environment within the industry.
