tanushree dutta, nana patekar,

Tanushree Dutta is someone who speaks her mind on a number of issues pertaining to films, women’s safety on sets and more. The actress, who spearheaded the #MeToo movement in 2018 when she accused Nana Patekar of s*xual misconduct on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss, recently opened up about the 235-page report released by the Justice K Hema Committee on the s*xual harassment of women in the Malayalam film industry.

For the unversed, on Monday, August 19, a new report was released by the Hema Committee and it sparked widespread discussions. It uncovered 17 forms of exploitation against women, including pay disparity, rape threats, and unsolicited sexual remarks. The committee was formed in response to a demand by the Women In Cinema Collective, following the s*xual assault on a female Malayalam actor in a moving vehicle in 2017 in Kochi. One of the accused in the case was Malayalam actor Dileep.

Tanushree Dutta on the new Hema Committee report

During an interaction with News18 Showsha, Tanushree Dutta commented on the Hema Committee report. The actress – who spearheaded the #MeToo movement in 2018, said, “These committees and reports, I don’t understand them. I think they’re useless. It took them seven years to make a report on what happened in 2017?”

Commenting on the Vishakha Committee (previously known as the Women’s Grievances Committee), the actress says, “What’s the point of this new report anyway? All they had to do was arrest the accused and enforce a strong law and order system. I remember hearing about the Vishakha Committee, which came up with so many guidelines and prepared pages and pages of reports, but what happened after that? The names of the committees just keep changing.” For the unversed, the Vishakha Committee was created with the aim to prevent s*xual harassment in the workplace.

People like Nana and Dileep are narcissistic psychopaths

Tanushree Dutta continued, “People like Nana (Patekar) and Dileep are narcissistic psychopaths. There’s no cure for them. Only a vicious and vengeful man can do what they did. I don’t care about these committees. I have no trust in this system. It feels like with these reports and committees, they’re just wasting our time rather than doing the real work. Having a safe workplace is a basic right for a woman—or any human being, for that matter.”

Sharing her thoughts on Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan stating that the state government is working towards formulating a comprehensive cinema law to ensure women’s safety, Tanushree said, “All this is just talk. Action is needed. Who even follows all this paperwork? Even if they come up with a comprehensive cinema law, those who want to break the law will still break it. These predators are all mentally ill. They aren’t in their right minds, yet they manage to find support among other crazy and psychotic people.”
