Prithviraj Sukumaran on Hema Committee report
When asked about the impact on the film industry, Prithviraj said there should be a strong response to it. He said, 'Just because I have not faced such a problem does not mean it does not exist in the industry. I have not experienced it, but if anyone in Malayalam cinema has been affected by such groups, their complaints should be heard. If such a body exists, it should be abolished.'

Nani further added, 'Whenever I hear about all these news, especially about how women are treated or anyone can say or do anything and think they can get away with it, I think 20 years ago the situation was much better.
