Chinmayi Instagram – “Nothing will happen here,” announced ace singer Chinmayi Sripaada as we sat down in her office to discuss the possibilities of Tamil cinema having its own watershed moment a la Justice Hema Committee report. In the wake of Malayalam cinema coming to terms with the deep rot in its system, there are conversations galore about other Indian film industries going down this road of introspection. While it isn’t like Tamil or Telugu cinema hasn’t had voices shouting for justice, the real worry is the brazen nonchalance of the powers that be. “When the seniors of Tamil cinema aren’t saying anything, who do you turn to? Some are entrenched in politics, and some just want to avoid controversy, and some others might be worried about skeletons in their own closet. When you have people platforming a person who has been accused of sexual harassment by not one but almost 17 people, do they even understand how deflating it is for the survivor?” asks Chinmayi, who has become the de-facto face and voice of the MeToo movement in Tamil cinema.
