There has been all lot of brouhaha over Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA)'s decision to reinstate tainted actor Dileep in the body, that has caught the attention of the entire nation. As per reports, in the latest board meeting, there was a decision made to bring back the actor after he was suspended over his arrest in the infamous kidnapping case. Now that the actor is on bail, Dileep has been getting support from many of his colleagues and that provoked the decision. However, it has not gone down well with the women members of AMMA, who are also part of Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) with four members, Rima Kallingal, Ramya Nambeesan, Geetu Mohandas and the victim resigning from AMMA.
After many senior members of AMMA like Mohanlal, Innocent, Edavela Babu getting flak over the 'decision', Dileep has now shared on Facebook that he has no intentions to join AMMA till he is proven innocent by the court in the Malayalam actress assault case. He also revealed that he didn't get any intimation from the board about getting reinstated in the body.

Interestingly, before all the outrage broke out, there has not been any official announcement from AMMA to take Dileep back. Also intriguing is that Dileep's ex-wife Manju Warrier, who is also a part of AMMA and WCC and is very close to the victim, has not joined in the protests.
Meanwhile, the new AMMA President Mohanlal is getting a lot of ire from WCC, who have attacked him through an FB post, that asked, "If you have decided to revoke the suspension… what has changed after he was suspended? Do you know that you have decided to take back someone who is alleged to have been involved in a rape and the trial is yet to finish… don’t you feel anything at all?" The mess may be becoming messier, but nevertheless, an interesting mess.
