AMMA Leadership Resigns Amid Harassment Scandal

Actor Mohanlal and all 17 executive members of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) resigned amid a scandal involving widespread sexual harassment allegations within the Malayalam film industry. This follows the explosive findings of the Justice K Hema Committee report, which detailed rampant abuse and misconduct faced by women professionals. The Kerala government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to further investigate these allegations. High-profile figures such as actor Siddique and director Ranjith also stepped down from their respective positions due to related accusations. The resignations mark a significant upheaval in AMMA, with plans for a new administrative panel to be elected within two months. The industry faces increasing scrutiny and demands for reform and accountability.
