AMMA Leadership Resigns Amidst Justice Hema Committee Report Controversy

The Justice Hema Committee Report reveals explosive allegations of sexual misconduct in the Malayalam film industry, leading to the resignation of AMMA president Mohanlal and the executive panel. The association will hold elections within two months to appoint a new administrative panel while currently managing ongoing programmes temporarily.

The Malayalam film industry has been shaken by the revelations of the Justice Hema Committee Report, sparking mass resignations within its actors' body, the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), including its president, Mohanlal.

In a dramatic turn of events, AMMA announced the resignation of its entire executive panel due to various sexual misconduct allegations against its members. Mohanlal, who called an online meeting to discuss the crisis, confirmed that the panel has stepped down taking moral responsibility.

The association stated that the current panel would remain temporarily to ensure uninterrupted operations until a new panel is elected within two months. The report's release prompted a wave of allegations, leading the Kerala government to form a special investigation team. Many actors welcomed the resignations, seeing it as an opportunity for reform and stronger leadership.
