The rival factions in the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) seem to be in no mood to relent as the rift within the actors’ body has widened following the recent decision by the executive committee to fill the vacant posts of vice-presidents, treasurer and joint secretary.

Actors Asha Aravind and Sijoy Varghese were elected as vice-presidents by the committee in a revamp held last week after the actors’ body plunged into organisational turmoil following the general body meeting held here on June 21, 2026. Actors Neena Kurup and Sarayu Mohan were elected as treasurer and joint secretary, respectively.
