Shammy Thilakan

The Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) has categorically dismissed media reports that actor Shammy Thilakan was ousted from the organization. Shammy, son of legendary actor Thilakan has been not in good terms with the AMMA over the past several months due to differences of opinion. The film body had initiated disciplinary proceedings against the actor on charges of code of conduct violation. The issue was that he tried to record a meeting of the association in December 2021.

According to Siddique, AMMA treasurer, Shammy is very much part of the organization and will take action only after hearing his side. He added that only AMMA executive committee can expel members, which will take action in due course after hearing Shammy’s reply.

The actor also said that majority of AMMA members accepted the fact that action should be taken against Shammy Thilakan as he was speaking against the organization via social media and other platforms. Shammy didn’t reply properly when asked why he captured the meeting on his smartphone. The Kireedam actor has questioned the working of all the actors including that of AMMA on several occasions.

Recently, Shammy Thilakan slammed the association for protecting Vijay Babu, who is currently trapped in a #MeToo sexual assault case. Shammy had shared a Facebook post of Hareesh Peradi regarding this issue. Shammy has been a vocal critic and often speaks on various issues identical to his Father. Peradi resigned from the association in protest against the actions of the office-bearers. AMMA made it clear that Vijay Babu hasn’t been expelled from the organization and his mother attended the Annual General Body Meeting held on June 26. Edavela Babu also landed in a controversy when he termed AMMA a club.

Innocent served as the president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) for over 15 years before handing it over to Mohanlal. He started his career as a producer but excelled in acting via his intuitive comedy and classic Thrissur slang. The Sandesham actor has completed four decades of acting with over 500 films.

However, he lost to Benny Behanan in the 2019 elections from the same constituency. Innocent was very aggressive towards legendary actor Thilakan and it was during his tenure he was ousted from Amma.
