AMMA to sit on Sreenath Bhasi’s membership application, decides to resolve Shane Nigam controversy

According to Mathrubhumi, announcing its decision to sit on the membership application of Bhasi, AMMA informed that his request would be considered once No Objection Certificates (NOC) from other organisations are obtained. Bhasi applied for AMMA membership after the ban was imposed.

About the controversy regarding Shane, a member of the association, the AMMA executive committee decided that the problem would be resolved through further dialogue, the Manorama Online report further mentioned.

In the same meeting, several other actors like Kalyani Priyadarshan, Dhyan Sreenivasan and Nikhila Vimal were granted membership by the association, India Today reported.

Soon after the associations decided not to cooperate with him, Shane Nigam had approached AMMA claiming the allegations against him were false. KFPA’s M Renjith had previously stated that “halfway through the production, Nigam insisted that he should be given more prominence in the film RDX. He wanted the movie to be edited mid-production. Nigam even threatened not to act in the movie. There is proof of all this.”

Meanwhile, Nigam told AMMA that he took up RDX after the director told him that he was the lead character. After the shoot, Nigam had his doubts so he demanded to see the edit of the film as he had reason to believe that he was one of the three characters in the film, and not the lead as the director had promised.
