Meanwhile, Mohanlal, actor and former president of the  Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), recently resigned from his post. Mohanlal's resignation came with those of 17-member executive committee, after the release of the Hema Committee report.

“I was AMMA president for the last two terms. The entire Malayalam cinema is answerable to the Hema Committee report. What we are seeing is that all questions are directed only at AMMA. AMMA cannot give answers to all the questions. Everybody should be asked these questions. This is a very hard-working industry. A lot of people are involved in this, but not everyone is to be blamed in this. The responsible ones will be punished," Mohanlal had then told the press.

Superstra Mammootty also broke his silence on the Hema Committee Report, and welcomed the report by taking to his official Facebook handle.
