AMMA general body meet to decide on new executive committee
The previous executive committee, with the actor as its president, was disbanded in August 2024 in the wake of the allegations of sexual assault and misbehaviour raised against its members, including the office-bearers following the release of the K. Hema Committee report that probed the problems faced by women in the Malayalam film industry.
To continue with the daily functioning of the association, an ad-hoc committee was formed comprising the members of the disbanded executive committee. Mr. Mohanlal, who attended a recent meeting of the ad-hoc committee, is learnt to have expressed his willingness to lead the executive committee, if the rest of the ad-hoc committee members are permitted to continue in the new executive committee.
Jayan Cherthala, member of the ad-hoc committee, said that the general body has the powers to take a call on whether the ad-hoc committee should be re-elected as the next executive committee. It is learnt that Mr. Mohanlal is likely to stay away, if a demand for holding fresh elections is raised at the general body meeting. The previous disbanded committee had a tenure up to 2027.
