The Malayalam film industry is facing significant turmoil as multiple allegations of sexual misconduct arise, particularly against actor Mukesh, who is also a CPI(M) MLA. Mukesh has been dropped from a government committee following these allegations, which include claims of verbal and physical abuse from fellow actors. Director Ranjith and actor Siddique have resigned from their positions amid similar accusations, with Ranjith denying the allegations and vowing to prove his innocence. The Youth Congress has called for Mukesh's resignation, criticizing the government's inaction in light of the Hema Committee report on sexual misconduct. Casting director Tess Joseph, who previously accused Mukesh of harassment in 2018, has expressed her disappointment with the justice system and the industry's silence on these issues. As the controversy escalates, there are calls for thorough investigations into the allegations to ensure accountability within the film industry.
