Thilakan expelled officially

The general body meeting of AMMA, (Association of Malayalam movie Artists), which met at Kochi yesterday has endorsed the decision taken in regard of expulsion of life membership of Thilakan from the organisation.

The veteran was expelled for indiscipline and for his unbearable 'out bursts against the organisation and its members'. The meeting also decided to proceed with the case against renowned Malayalam writer Sukumar Azhikode for his criticism against AMMA leaders, especially against its secretary. The other issues that came up for discussion included the need for maintaining a sense of discipline on shooting sets, including punctuality and avoiding the use of mobile phones, which were welcomed by all. The meeting also decided to extend 'Kaineettam' (financial assistance) to four more artists, and to conduct stages on February for raising money for assistance to aged members.

The annual general body meeting was attended by leading artistes like superstars Mammootty, Mohanlal, Jayaram, Nedumudi Venu, Jagadheesh and veteran actor Madhu.
