Malayalam actor fraternity united on actress kidnap case
Kochi–The Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) on Thursday expressed their ire at the media over the actress kidnap case and said that the artists are united on the issue.
The anger at the media came when probing questions were put to the AMMA executive committee members, who included association President and Lok Sabha member Innocent and superstars Mammootty, Mohanlal, Dileep and Kerala assembly members Mukesh and K.B. Ganesh Kumar.
Kumar lost his cool when questions came thick and fast over why the AMMA annual general body meeting did not take up the actress’s kidnap case, when she is a member as is Dileep, who was questioned by the police for over 13 hours till 1 a.m. on Thursday.
“It was me who had told the meeting that if anyone wishes to raise this issue, it can be raised and discussed. But none had any doubts as they know that AMMA is fair. Both of ‘them’ (the victim and Dileep) are our own children. We are united and none can break our unity and our organisation,” said Kumar.
Another member who lost his cool was Mukesh who was asked if the women artists’ new organisation, which too like AMMA was silent on the case, did not have any doubts.
