In response to the Hema Committee report, the Kerala Film Producers' Association has issued a new directive requiring remuneration contracts for payments exceeding Rs 1 lakh starting October 1. These contracts, to be made on stamp paper before any work begins, will include clauses on sexual harassment and drug addiction. This move aims to improve transparency and accountability in the Malayalam film industry. Additionally, the association highlighted concerns about actor-producers facing tax evasion charges and their growing role in financing films, complicating the business environment for traditional producers.
