Malayalam actor Hareesh Peradi resigns from AMMA

Actor Hareesh Peradi has resigned from the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) in protest against the “anti-woman and misogynist attitude” of the organisation.

“I have submitted the resignation through email addressed to the president and the secretary of the association. I cannot continue further in an organisation that is deeply misogynist in its attitude towards women,” he said on Saturday.

Mr. Peradi had sharply criticised the association leadership through his Facebook posts after actor Mala Parvathy resigned from the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) of the organisation for not expelling actor-producer Vijay Babu from the executive committee.
