‘Kaathal’ director Jeo Baby emphasised the impact of recent revelations, notably the Hema Committee report. He expressed that such changes were long overdue. “What was once dismissed as rumours over the past four years has become reality. We are at a point where actions must be taken, and any delay would be detrimental,” he said. Chidambaram, director of ‘Manjummel Boys’, echoed this sentiment, stating that the industry cannot progress while women face exploitation. Despite the challenges, he encouraged focusing on the positive aspects of these changes.
