Sandra had questioned the silence of film organisations, including KFPA, on the startling revelations in the recently released Justice Hema Committee Report about alleged harassment and exploitation being faced by women in Malayalam cinema.

KFPA serves show cause notice

Reacting to her views, the association had served her with show cause notice.

An executive committee meeting of the KFPA, convened on October 28, resolved that Sandra had been continuously breaching discipline and raising baseless allegations against committee members. The KFPA said in a recent letter to Sandra that her response to the show cause notice was also not satisfactory.

“So, it has been decided to cancel the membership of Sandra Thomas Productions and of you, as a person who represents the firm,” KFPA secretary B Rajesh said in a letter issued on October 28, which became public on Tuesday.

Sandra Thomas reacts

Reacting to this, Sandra told the media that the association had expelled her despite giving a detailed explanation.

“Many women have been coming out with revelations in the wake of the release of the Justice Hema Committee report. I feel they (the association) have expelled me intending to silence all such women,” she told reporters in Kochi.

She said if the experience of a producer like her is this, what would the situation be for a technician or artist who approaches such organisations with a complaint?

Sandra recently lodged a police complaint against nine association office bearers, accusing them of behaving objectionably during a meeting after inviting her to resolve a film production-related dispute.

Though the Ernakulam Central police booked them over her complaint in October, the producers rejected the charges.

Actor-producer Sandra Thomas, known for her contributions to Malayalam cinema, has made serious allegations against the Kerala Film Producers’ Association (KFPA). Sandra claimed that the association expelled her in what she believes is an attempt to suppress women from raising their voices in the industry.

Taking to social media, Sandra shared her disappointment, stating, “This move by KFPA isn’t just about me—it’s about silencing every woman who dares to stand up for her rights in the male-dominated film industry.” She accused the organization of unfair practices and suggested that her expulsion is rooted in her vocal stance on various issues, including her insistence on fair treatment and transparency in professional dealings.

Sandra, who has produced notable films like Zachariayude Garbhinikal and Philips and the Monkey Pen, has been a vocal advocate for equality and better working conditions for women in cinema. Her claims have ignited discussions on the systemic challenges faced by women in the Malayalam film industry.

The KFPA, however, has yet to release a detailed statement addressing her allegations. Industry insiders and fans are now urging the association to provide clarity and ensure justice. Meanwhile, Sandra’s courage to speak out has been widely lauded, with several celebrities and social media users extending their support.

This controversy adds to the ongoing discourse about the treatment of women in the entertainment industry and the need for systemic reforms to create an equitable and inclusive environment.
