In Telugu too, Amala Akkineni says they have started a platform called Voice of Women where women can come and complain (about harassment). In Tamil, there is Vishal heading Nadigar Sangam, and taking such a democratic stand, and they have constituted a panel for women. That’s what, nationally and internationally and even regionally at other states, we see a trend of supporting women. Action should be taken against Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar for affecting the jobs of other people, Siddique said. That’s up to producers and directors calling him. Even as the whole world is erupting with the Me Too movement and Bollywood actors like Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan have walked away from film sets to make their stand clear, Siddique says that Dileep would continue working in films.
Try forming one and see if complaints come. Where do you then make a complaint about sexual harassment if there is no internal committee? Maybe they are not brave enough to constitute one. I think the women should say that, not him (Siddique). Ashiq Abu may have had one since he felt things like that could happen in his set. He said that he never felt the need to have one in any of the film sets he has been part of. There was a remark made by Siddique about constituting internal committees. If I can work right now, I can safeguard my future.
But how are they protecting the rights of actors who are active in the industry now? I want protection now, not just when I am old and ailing and without a chance to act. It is true that AMMA reaches out to senior and ailing actors. Where are the brilliant women actors of the yesteryears, who used to work with them? They have become invisible.
A male star would come and dance to five songs with five women who are active in the industry at the time.
But what has AMMA been doing for its women members? Even the annual show they do every year has been for glorifying the men.
