AMMA row: Shwetha Menon says ‘will go to any extent’ to ensure ‘power group’ does not lead association
Actor Shwetha Menon has vowed to continue her fight against a 'power group' within the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) following allegations of corruption and misconduct. The association is currently embroiled in legal battles regarding the formation of an ad-hoc committee.
Why it matters
The internal conflict within AMMA reflects broader concerns regarding accountability and the treatment of women in the Malayalam film industry.
Actor Shwetha Menon, who retracted her earlier decision to step down as president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA), has said she will “go to any extent” to make sure that those named in the Hema Committee report will not lead the actors’ body.
In a social media post on Tuesday, she stated that her fight is against the ‘power group’ named in the Hema Committee report [on the problems faced by women in Malayalam cinema]. She alleged that the group “humiliated” her and tried to expel her from the annual general body meeting of the association held in Kochi on June 21.
She alleged that some in the power group had raised personal allegations against her after she had questioned them about their financial wrongdoings linked to the association.
