Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, in a recent statement given to the media, called the #MeToo movement a fad. According to a leading publication, the actor who was attending a press conference in Dubai said, “There is no big problem in the Malayalam industry. You shouldn’t think of the #MeToo as a movement actually. It is a fad and it is turning into something of a fashion. Anything like that will have a lifespan for a bit.”
The 58-year-old star was in the UAE to launch his charity fundraiser named Onnanu Nammal. When he was questioned further about his comment, he avoided the question by saying he “doesn’t know much about it.”
The actor further added that he will not comment on the matter as he thinks those who have experienced harassment should speak only about it.
