Mohanlal steps down as AMMA president

Thrissur: Just over two months after being elected President of the Association of Malayalam Movies Artistes (AMMA) for the third successive term, superstar Mohanlal on Tuesday announced he was stepping down and the rest of the 17-member Executive Committee also quit, in wake of criticism of the film body over the revelations made in the Justice Hema Committee report.

It was at the AMMA’s annual general body in June that Mohanlal secured his third three-year term through the ballot.
