Noted Malayalam actor Dileep, accused in the infamous actress-abuduction case has formally resigned from actors' body, AMMA. AMMA has accepted Dileep's resignation said AMMA President and popular Malayalam actor Mohanlal on Friday, while addressing the media at a press meet held in Kochi.
AMMA has asked Dileep to tender his resignation after this was demanded by the Women in Cinema Collective(WCC) members, added Mohanlal.
The decision got delayed because of the Kerala floods and AMMA needed the permission from all members.
"AMMA didn't want to delay the matters further. I called Dileep and asked him to resign from the actors' body," Mohanlal said at the meet.
"Malayalam actors have formed AMMA as a charity organisation, we are sad about how things have taken such a sad turn. If someone who resigned from AMMA asks for reinstatement, then s/he should submit an application to the body. We will decide whether to take him or her later," he added.
During the press briefing, Lal once again mentioned WCC members as 'actors', without naming them.
"Three actors who are part of AMMA are now working against the body. There is no difference between actors Jagdish and Siddique," said Lal.
