the
general
secretary
of
AMMA
since
last
9
years.
But
Mammootty,
who
was
staying

is
making
a
comeback

a

AMMA
is
the
first
ever
actors
association
of
the
Indian
Cinema
platform.
The
formation
and
smooth
running
of
the
association
resulted
in
the
birth
of
actors
associations
in
all
major
movie
industries
of
the
country.
The
name
AMMA
was
suggested
by
the
late
actor
Sukumaran,
who
is
also
the
father
of
Indrajith
and
Prithviraj.
The
association
consists
of
about
320
members,
according
to
the
recent
statistics.
