Lights, camera, action! Shwetha fights off odds to plot her comeback
KOCHI: Shwetha Menon's election as president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) marks a stunning comeback. As she filed her nomination for the post, the actor, who has been active in Malayalam cinema since 1991, encountered many obstacles. An FIR was filed with the Ernakulam Central police station on August 6 charging her with 'transmitting sexually explicit content' and 'indecent representation' of women through her roles in certain films, some of them widely acclaimed. Shwetha, who served as vice-president of AMMA from 2021 to 2024, was the first woman to hold that position. In 2022, she resigned from the internal complaints committee expressing disappointment over 'inaction' against Vijay Babu following rape allegations against the actor-producer. Commenting on the case against her, Shwetha said she believes it was part of an election stunt. 'Because the films the petitioner mentioned were released some 10-12 years ago. I don't understand the basis of the case. The case is now in court. I cannot comment on it,' she told reporters on Friday. Shwetha became a household name in the state through her roles in films such as Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha, Penpattanam, Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty, Salt n' Pepper, Kalimannu, etc. She won the state award for best actress twice for Paleri Manikyam and Salt n' Pepper. 'It is always better when women fight and win. It is good that Shwetha fought and won,' said Devan, Shwetha's opponent. The new chair hopes to see past members returning to AMMA. About members who left the association following the actor assault case in 2017, she said, they can return to the organisation. 'They can come back. They are all part of the family. They are most welcome. I am willing to invite them personally. We will work together. There were many discussions here. The issues will be solved,' Shwetha said. reel power Total members: 506 Votes polled: 298 President: Shwetha Menon General secretary: Kukku Parameswaran Vice-presidents: Jayan Cherthala and Lakshmi Priya Joint secretary: Ansiba Hassan Treasurer: Unni Shivapal Executive committee members: 11 Anjali Nair Asha Aravind Sarayu Mohan Neena Kurup Joy Mathew Kailash Nandu Poduval Santhosh Keezhattoor Tini Tom Vinu Mohan Sijoy Varghese Poll Absentees Mammootty Manju Warrier Indrajith Prithviraj
