'Cinema is a reflection of society, every good and bad in society will be reflected in films'
Mammootty welcomes Hema report says no power group in film industry

ACTOR Mammootty, reacting for the first time after the Hema Committee report came out nearly two weeks ago, said there is no 'power group' in cinema and that it is not a field where such groups can exist.
