Lakshmy Ramakrishnan 's Allegations Shake the Malayalam Film Industry
Popular Tamil actress Lakshmy Ramakrishnan, well-known in both the Malayalam and Tamil film industries, has recently sparked a controversy with her serious allegations against prominent Malayalam directors. The actress disclosed that she was offered a role by a well-known Mollywood director, but the situation took a disturbing turn when she was asked to meet him in Cochin, Kerala, for discussions.
Allegations Surface on Reddit, Stirring Public Outcry
A Reddit post translating the actress's claims has been circulating widely on social media. According to the post, Ramakrishnan accused a respected Malayalam director, known for his family films, of inappropriate behavior. She revealed that she was invited to Cochin for a detailed discussion about the role and was asked to stay overnight. When she refused, she claims she was abruptly removed from the project.
The Reddit user also mentioned another incident where a Malayalam director, who had previously worked with Ramakrishnan in a Tamil film, allegedly behaved inappropriately. The post suggested that the director, potentially Shaji Kailas, made her uncomfortable with excessive physical contact and forced her to do 19 retakes for a simple scene.

These allegations bring to mind the findings of the Justice Hema Committee, formed by the Kerala government after a high-profile assault on a female actress in 2017. The committee's investigation exposed widespread exploitation and abuse of women in the Malayalam film industry. In response, the government established a special team on August 25 to investigate these serious allegations against key industry figures, including actors and directors.
