Mollywood is currently facing a major controversy. The government had previously set up the Hema Committee to investigate and report on the atrocities and sexual harassment experienced by many actresses in the industry. The committee recently submitted its findings, but the industry is now embroiled in further scandal.
Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman, which has become sensational news. A formal sexual abuse case has been filed against him. The allegation claims that Nivin assaulted the woman abroad, promising her a role in one of his films.
Nivin Pauly quickly responded to the allegations by holding a press conference where he strongly denied the accusations. He condemned the case filed against him and suggested that there might be foul play involved. Nivin expressed his readiness to address the allegations legally and urged the media not to sensationalize the issue.
This incident comes on the heels of controversy surrounding the Mollywood Artistes Association, which was accused of protecting individuals who had sexually assaulted women in the industry. The association, once headed by Mohanlal, was dissolved following these accusations, and Mohanlal himself faced scrutiny, leading to his resignation. These issues are currently creating a storm in Mollywood.
