Thrissur: Various associations in the Malayalam film industry have extended support to Girija Theatre owner Dr Girija condemning the cyber attacks launched against her for the past five years. As per reports, the associations of producers and distributors convened a meeting with Girija at Producers’ Association Hall on Saturday and discussed the matter.
