Shwetha Menon scripts history as first woman prez of AMMA in 30 yrs
August 16, 2025
|The New Indian Express
THE Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) on Friday scripted history by electing actor Shwetha Menon as its president — the first woman to hold the post in the body's 30-year history.
Shwetha's elevation comes in the wake of the resignation of the committee led by actor Mohanlal, following the release of the Hema Committee report in August 2024. The organisation had since faced criticism over the absence of women in its top ranks.
In a keenly contested poll, Shwetha defeated actor Devan by 21 votes. Kukkoo Parameswaran was chosen as general secretary, beating Raveendran. The elections were held in Kochi to select the executive committee for 2025-28.
