Mohanlal replaces Innocent as new president of Association of Malayalam Movie Actors

Firstpost  

Mohanlal’s election was a foregone conclusion as there was no other candidate when the last date of filing nominations closed early in June. Kochi: Malayalam superstar Mohanlal was on 24 June unanimously elected the new President of the Association of Malayalam Movie Actors, replacing Innocent, the hugely popular comedian and CPI-M backed Lok Sabha member from Chalakuddy, who was at the helm for the past 18 years. Unlike the past meetings of the AMMA, the media was kept away and the usual press meeting after the annual general body meeting was not held while members were strictly instructed to keep a distance from the media. However in the 24 June meeting, the first annual general body meeting after Dileep’s arrest, committee took a decision to revoke Dileep’s suspension, on the grounds that it was done by a hurriedly-called executive meeting which was against the by-laws of AMMA.
