A total of 17 cases have been registered in connection with sexual harassment allegations that have shaken the Malayalam film industry and led to the dissolution of Association of Malayalam Movie Artists or AMMA. Several film stars and filmmakers are likely to be questioned.
The latest complaint has been filed by actor Sonia Malhaar, who has alleged that an actor molested her on a film set in 2013. The actor has lodged a complaint with the Special Investigation Team formed by Kerala government to tackle the '#MeToo' storm in the film industry. She has urged media not to link actor Jayasurya to her allegations.
