Mohanlal Discusses AMMA Resignation: 'Time to Put a Full Stop'
Mohanlal, a famous actor, used to be the head of AMMA, a group for Malayalam movie people.
He quit in August 2024 and explained why: it was time for a change.
He hopes those who left AMMA might return.
A woman named Shwetha Menon is now the new leader.
Mohanlal was president since 2018, and his leaving caused the whole committee to step down too.
He's now focused on his acting and is happy with AMMA's future.
Mohanlal resigned as AMMA President in August 2024.
The resignation was not due to criticism, but because he felt it was time to 'put a full stop'.
