Mohanlal is the president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (A.M.M.A) and the organisation’s decision to induct Dileep back into it had caused some uproar. It is this decision made under the leadership of Mohanlal which made him undesirable for some people. Director Dr. Biju also had questioned the decision of state government to make Mohanlal the chief guest of the function.
Famous Movie analyst V K Joseph said that on the stage of Award distribution, there should be only the award winners and the chief minister. Women in Cinema Collective(W.C.C) also expressed their displeasure over the state’s decision to include Mohanlal as a guest. The function will be held at Nishagandhi on Award Night.
