The conflict within the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) intensified when actor Ansiba Hassan accused fellow actor Tiny Tom of character assassination and making communal remarks. Hassan, who served as the joint secretary, announced her resignation on February 21, 2026, citing harassment and the alleged spread of rumors regarding her personal life by Tom. She stated that she was informed of these comments from another member of AMMA but chose not to pursue legal action. In response, Tiny Tom denied the allegations, asserting that they were based on hearsay and reaffirming his commitment to sincerity and openness. He expressed confidence that AMMA’s executive committee would address the situation appropriately. Following the allegations, actor Priyanka voiced her support for Tom, suggesting that Hassan should have discussed her grievances internally within AMMA. Meanwhile, AMMA president Shwetha Menon confirmed that she had received a complaint from Hassan naming Tom and another member, Lakshmipriya, after the issue became public. This ongoing dispute highlights the challenges within the organization as it navigates allegations and internal conflicts.
