Malayalam Actress Zeenath Requests Mohanlal, Mammootty's Return To AMMA: People Are Waiting To...

The Malayalam film industry has been jolted after the Kerala government released the redacted version of the Hema Commission Report in August this year. Soon after several artists came forward to file an FIR against prominent figures of Mollywood alleging them of sexual misconduct. Following the FIRs, the Mohanlal-led Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) dissolved when the members gave a mass resignation. With them, Mohanlal and Mammootty also resigned from the body.

Now, almost two months after their resignation, Malayalam actress Zeenath has shared on her social media handle requesting both the stalwarts to come back to AMMA.

Every person in AMMA needs you and needs your service: Zeenath

Taking to her Facebook handle, Zeenath dropped a post and shared she cannot think of an AMMA that's not led by Mohanlal and Mammootty. She wrote, “Mammootty and Mohanlal do not need AMMA to reach people. Both of them have achieved name and fame beyond what can be achieved in this short life. On the contrary, the organisation needs you. Every person in AMMA needs you and needs your service. You are two trees with big branches, and many people are waiting to sit in the shade under them. So Mohanlal should come back as the leader of the organisation."

In her long note, she also talked about how it was wrong for people to expect that Mohanlal and Mammootty would be answerable to all the sexual misconduct cases filed against prominent figures.

What is the legal status of the prime accused?

Siddique, CPI-M legislator Mukesh and former AMMA general secretary Edavela Babu have been granted pre-arrest bail against the sexual misconduct cases. The trio have been booked by Kerala Police under several cases, including rape.
