General body meeting of Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) on June 21 in Kochi expected to be a showdown. Rival factions ready to clash over ongoing disputes. Tensions high,especially over disciplinary actions against four members,including actor Ansiba Hassan who criticized fellow members publicly.
Show-cause notices went out June 10,2026 to executive committee members Joy Mathew, Lakshmipriya,and Tini Tom. Leadership accuses them of harming association's reputation with their media remarks. But any disciplinary decisions likely postponed until after meeting. General body,not executive committee,holds power to resolve these issues.
Actor Maala Parvathi opposes any action against Hassan,who accused Tom and Lakshmipriya of derogatory and communal comments. Parvathi stressed executive committee can't expel members,only general body can decide such matters. This internal conflict raises questions about AMMA's governance and handling of member disputes.
Hassan,who resigned as joint secretary,anticipates the meeting,saying,“Let us see [what happens at the meeting].” She seeks clarity on allegations from show-cause notice but no response yet . In her defense,she asks for specific violations of bylaws to be defined.
Discord in AMMA pushing Hassan to take further steps,including court action against Lakshmipriya. She claims issues with fellow actors are personal,unrelated to association’s activities. No action from AMMA despite her complaints.
With June 21 approaching,atmosphere charged. Outcome could shift AMMA's future dynamics. Members wrestle with impact of public statements and association's response. Meeting could be a turning point…
