After the 17-member executive committee of Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) resigned,actor Ansiba Hassan pushed for fresh leadership with conviction and empathy. Committee led by Shwetha Menon stepped down Sunday,June 21,2026,amid financial mismanagement allegations .
Hassan,who quit as joint secretary back in February 2026,felt relieved general body saw committee's shortcomings. “Let new leadership with actors like Kunchacko Boban,Prithviraj,Asif Ali,and Dhyan Sreenivasan take charge,” she said,stressing need for leaders who truly listen to peers.
The actress criticized outgoing committee for not addressing big gaps in financial affairs. “They couldn't present a proper statement of expenditure and revenue earnings at the general body meeting,” she alleged,slamming their lack of transparency.
Hassan also underlined need for inclusivity,especially after prominent actors Rima Kallingal,Remya Nambeesan,and Parvathy Thiruvothu resigned. They claimed leadership sided with accused in 2017 actress assault case rather than supporting survivor. She urged new committee to bring these actors back into fold.
In ongoing legal fight against actor Tini Tom,who she accused of making derogatory remarks,Hassan stood firm in seeking justice. Tom denied allegations,saying there's a concerted effort to damage his reputation.
Hassan thanked members who joined the meeting,giving her platform to voice concerns. The call for new leadership could be turning point for AMMA as it tries to rebuild trust…
