With hardly a week left for the election to its governing committee, the ‘memory card’ issue continues to rock the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) with its women members now resorting to petitions and counter petitions.
The allegation is that a meeting of AMMA’s women members held in 2018 in the wake of the formation of the Hema Committee by the Kerala government was videographed and preserved as a memory card. The dispute has now erupted over the whereabouts of the said memory card amid apprehensions of its leak, as the video footage reportedly had open revelations about bad experiences faced by some members. A section of actors, including Usha Haseena and Ponnamma Babu, has cornered their colleague Kukku Parameswaran over the matter.

Offended by the allegations, Ms. Parameswaran, who is contesting to the post of general secretary in the forthcoming election, has now lodged a petition with the State Police Chief naming her detractors for allegedly having engaged in a defamatory campaign against her, including on social media.
“I am being accused of something, which has nothing to do with me or to which I am not party of. Also, why raise a matter all these years later?” she told The Hindu.
