Report into problems faced by women in Malayalam -language film industry reveals deep rot in India 's film industry.

Report details abysmal working conditions on sets - including a lack of toilets and changing rooms for junior artists.

No food and water for them, poor pay and no accommodation or transport facilities.

The report was made public only this week after nearly five years of delay and multiple legal challenges.

The report has created ripples in the state, with activists and prominent opposition leaders demanding action against those accused of wrongdoing.

The Association of Malayalam Movie Artists ( AMMA ), a top industry body, denied the accusations.

It said conditions for women had improved on film sets in the past five years and all facilities were now available to them.
