The actor said it is difficult for her to file a complaint in Kerala as she is in West Bengal now.
Aashiq Abu in his statement to Manorama News also accused Cultural Affairs Minister Saji Cheriyan's stance in the issue.
Satheesan added that the govt's inaction would further fuel the perception that the entire Malayalam film industry is complicit in wrongdoing.
Bengali actress Sreelekha Mitra had accused Ranjith of making inappropriate advances toward her.
While she clarifies that there was no sexual assault, she said Ranjith's behaviour gave the impression that such an intention might have been there.
The decision to bring back the movie to cinemas follows its earlier re-release, which proved successful after earning multiple state awards.
Nine of the 15-member executive council convened a parallel meeting the other day and sent the letters to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Saji Cherian, and Chalachitra academy secretary, demanding that either Ranjith should change his “autocratic” style of functioning or he be ousted.
