After Malayalam actor Dileep was acquitted in the 2017 actress assault case, the directors of his next film Bha Bha Ba (short for Bhayam Bhakthi Bahumanam) released the trailer. The film, which will be released on December 18, also includes a cameo appearance by Mohanlal. Bhagyalakshmi, an actor and dubbing artist, addressed the press on the sidelines of the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) and lambasted Mohanlal. This is what she said. 

Bhagyalakshmi calls Mohanlal insensitive

Bhagyalakshmi talked at a session titled Patriarchy in Indian Cinema: Power, Gender, Politics, about how the survivor of the 2017 assault case received little to no assistance from the Malayalam cinema industry and was forced to fight the battle alone.
