Mohanlal Resigns from AMMA Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Mohanlal-Led AMMA Resigns Following Sexual Assault Allegations

The president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), Mohanlal, and his entire 17-member governing body have resigned. This decision was made on August 27, following the explosive Hema Committee report, which unveiled widespread sexual harassment and exploitation within the Malayalam film industry.

The resignation came after several actors, filmmakers, and technicians were accused of sexual misconduct, as revealed in the report made public on August 19. The Hema Committee’s findings have shaken the industry, prompting public outrage and demands for accountability.

Mohanlal, along with key committee members such as Jagadish, Jayan Cherthala, Baburaj, and Tovino Thomas, chose to step down, citing moral responsibility. The association announced that a new leadership would be selected within two months during a general body meeting.

The silence of AMMA regarding the allegations has been heavily criticized, particularly in the wake of actor Siddique’s resignation after he was accused of sexual misconduct. Siddique, who served as the General Secretary of AMMA, confirmed his resignation in a television interview, stating that the allegations compelled him to step down.

The Hema Committee report exposed not only sexual harassment but also issues such as pay disparities, casting couch culture, and lobbying. The report has led to a significant outcry, with many female actors speaking out against abuse by prominent industry figures, including directors and actors.

As the Malayalam film industry grapples with these revelations, the resignation of AMMA’s leadership marks a critical turning point. The industry now awaits the election of a new governing body that promises to bring renewed accountability and integrity.
