In 2024, the world of entertainment once again began discussing workplace safety after the shocking revelations in the Hema Committee Report exposed harassment and gender inequality within the Malayalam film industry. Many actors, including Siddique, Mukesh, Jayasurya, Maniyanpilla Raju, and Edavela Babu, were accused of mistreating their female co-stars on set in various films. The report was submitted to the Kerala government in 2019, and in August 2024, the government decided to release part of the report, excluding details about certain individuals to safeguard their privacy and the sensitive nature of the information.
