AMMA Controversy: Internal Conflicts and Caste Remarks

The Malayalam film association AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) is facing internal turmoil. A recent channel debate saw actor Rahul Eshwar and others discussing the controversy over the phrase ‘AMMA’s Nair’ used by actor Prakash Bare. Rahul questioned why such a casteist remark was made, while Prakash defended it, saying the organization includes members from all communities. Meanwhile, former joint secretary and actress Anasiba Hasan has come forward, alleging that she faced discrimination and a conspiracy within the organization. She claimed that a false complaint was filed against her, leading to police harassment, and that the president and office bearers denied her justice, forcing her to resign. She also accused senior member TD Tomin of spreading rumors about her religious conversion. The controversy highlights ongoing factional fights and lack of unity in the association.
