Revathy, Padmapriya resign from AMMA

Kochi: Actors Revathy and Padmapriya resigned from Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) and posted a joint statement on their Instagram pages. “Today we are resigning from AMMA.

This may look like one more chapter in the ongoing AMMA saga. It is not. Our resignation is not in haste and not about a single incident,” it read.“For nearly a decade, the ask was simple. Safer workplaces, dignity, accountability and equal treatment. The minimum every member deserves. And values we genuinely believed all of us could unite around. The price of asking, for us, has been silence and distance. From colleagues, from friends, from spaces that once felt like home.

Still, we stayed,” read their statement.The resignations after Hema committee report were not an act of principle but an escape from accountability. Once the attention faded, the same old order returned. AMMA was meant to stand as a collective voice for all actors. But it has become increasingly shaped by patriarchy and power politics, weakening its founding ideals. Walking away for us now is not defeat. It is self-respect, they said.Meanwhile, Hill Palace police registered an FIR against actor Lakshmipriya, her husband Jayesh, and Tripunithura women’s cell inspector Reshma based on the complaint of actor Ansiba Hassan. Her allegation is that she was summoned to the women’s cell on a complaint by Lakshmipriya and harassed by the police.
