AMMA crisis deepens: Ansiba takes legal action; Shwetha withdraws resignation 

The ongoing crisis in the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) has taken a new turn with actor Ansiba Hassan seeking legal action against fellow actor Lakshmi Priya and two representatives of an online media outlet.

She has accused them of making defamatory videos about her on social media.

Meanwhile, Shwetha Menon, AMMA's first female president, has reportedly withdrawn her resignation and decided to continue in her role.

Hassan files petition in court

Hassan has filed a petition at the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court in Ernakulam, seeking an FIR against Priya and others. She claims the videos were aimed at tarnishing her image and humiliating her publicly.

She had originally filed a complaint at the Palarivattom Police Station, but no action was taken. The court has directed police to submit an explanation by July 9.

Onmanorama also reported that she wants the court to investigate Menon's involvement in this case.

Menon withdraws resignation

Menon has announced she will not step down from her post, nearly two weeks after initially resigning.

She claimed she has been unfairly targeted and will continue in her role until she proves her innocence.

In a lengthy social media statement, Menon maintained that she had remained silent thus far, assuming it would end the controversies surrounding the organization.
