Law, cinema and culture minister A K Balan (File photo)THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Law, cinema and culture minister A K Balan on Sunday urged the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) to look into the grievances raised by actresses.
Women's Collective in Cinema (WCC) had on Saturday raised concerns over how AMMA, led by superstar Mohanlal, handled the case involving the rape of an actress.
Now that the WCC has raised issues, in all fairness, AMMA should look into it and sort out it. The government will step in if a need arises, said Balan.
The WCC was formed last year by women drawn from various sectors of the film industry to fight for their cause, after they found that AMMA was not protecting their interests.
Senior actor Dileep is an accused in a kidnapping case that took place last year. The actor was in jail for 85 days and is now out on bail.
During a lengthy news conference the WCC, led by actress Revathy, alleged that AMMA has not supported the victim, whereas Dileep has got all the backing. agencies
