Rift in AMMA triggers fresh row over ‘power group’ in Malayalam cinema

Actor Shwetha Menon, president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA), claims she is fighting against individuals named in the Hema Committee report, which investigated issues faced by women in Malayalam cinema. This claim has sparked internal conflict within AMMA, with rivals demanding transparency and accusing her of using the report as a distraction from the failures of her executive panel. Menon initially stepped down but later reversed her decision, vowing to prevent those named in the report from holding leadership positions. Opponents like Maala Paravathi argue that Menon should reveal the identities of those involved, while others, such as Usha Haseena, accuse her of covering up financial mismanagement and attempting to deflect criticism.

Bias read (Center): The article presents multiple perspectives from different actors within the AMMA, providing their arguments without overtly favoring any side. There is no clear ideological framing or biased language that leans toward one perspective over another. The focus is on internal disputes rather than policy
