Its social media accounts mentioned the actor will break her silence on being a sexual assault survivor. The interview promises to open a whole new can of worms.

The woman was allegedly abducted and molested in a moving vehicle by a group of men in 2017.

In July the same year, Dileep was arrested on charge of conspiracy behind the incident, and remained in jail for nearly three months before being released on bail.

The Women’s Collective in Cinema (WCC), a group led by a vocal actors like Parvathy Thiruvothu, Revathy, Rima Kallingal and Padmapriya Janakiraman, had accused Dileep of using his clout to influence the case and get some of the biggest names in Malayalam cinema to back him.

The WCC pressured AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists), a powerful film body, into ending its backing of Dileep and expelling him from the organisation at the time.
