The actor wrote in the statement, “Due to my personal commitments, my family and I have been in America for the past month, and during this time, two false allegations on the grounds of sexual harassment were made against me. My legal team will be looking after the rest of the proceedings regarding this case."
The actor also added, “Thank you to those who contributed to making this birthday the most painful one. Let those who have not sinned throw stones; but only at those who have sinned.”
Moreover, amid the rise of controversy against leading actors, the actors association called AMMA has undergone a mass resignation. Mohanlal who served as the president of the association had decided to step down from the role and pave the way for a new management to take place.
Furthermore, Mammootty has also made his official statement recently acknowledging the Hema Committee report and specifying that there are not any power groups controlling the industry.
