Veteran actress Mallika, mother of Prithviraj Sukumaran, recently spoke out about the ongoing issues within the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA). During a media interaction on Saturday, she voiced her dissatisfaction with the internal operations of AMMA, criticizing the committee for its unjust treatment of certain members.

As reported by Mathrubhumi, Mallika claimed that those who stay silent tend to fare better within the organization. She also condemned the unfair distribution of funds meant to assist members facing financial difficulties.

Mallika went on to claim that Mohanlal was well aware of the issues taking place in the AMMA. She said, “Mohanlal is well aware that some mistakes have been made within the organization. There are many who have attempted to impose their own will within AMMA, and several deserving individuals are being excluded from receiving the help they need.”

“Yet, assistance is provided to those who travel abroad for 15 days a month,” she added.

Talking about the infamous actress assault case in Mollywood, Mallika said, “It is 100% true that the actress was assaulted. All these discussions began after that incident. It’s been seven years, and the government still hasn’t clarified the findings of the investigation. What exactly happened?”

Mallika went on to level further accusations against AMMA, stating that any misconduct should have been addressed and halted at the very first instance. She also expressed her displeasure with how the authorities managed the Hema Committee Report, criticizing their handling of the situation.

Mallika is a renowned Indian actress who works in the Malayalam film industry. She made her debut back in the 1970s and has appeared in over 60 movies to date.

Actors Rahul Dev and Shah Rukh Khan share a common educational background, having both attended St Columba’s School in New Delhi, where Shah Rukh was Rahul’s senior. In a recent interview, Rahul reflected on their school days and highlighted the Don 2 actor’s exceptional talents, noting that he was “cool in a complete sense and was a graced child in school.” He also added that he could have been a scientist, as he was “not a spoiled brat.”

In a chat with Mamaraazi, he explained, “Our school was the first one to introduce computers in the country. There was an aptitude test for that. Only 20 kids got selected for it. Shah Rukh Khan was among the 20. He was the lead in the musicals and those were very serious shows.”

He went on to say that Shah Rukh has always been involved in theater and performed well academically. Rahul noted that he had never seen Shah Rukh come in second in any sport.

He described him as not being a boring nerd, but rather the true definition of “cool”. He emphasized that Shah Rukh was not a spoiled brat, but rather a graced child. 

In another interview with Connect FM Canada, Dev reminisced about being on the same cricket team as Don 2 actor during their school days, where SRK played as the wicket-keeper and Rahul was a fast bowler.

He recalled that Shah Rukh received the Sword of Honour award that year. Rahul also mentioned that SRK showcased remarkable talent in various sports, including football, hockey, and cricket, during their time at school.

“I don’t find it surprising that SRK has become a superstar. There will be no Shah Rukh Khan in the next 1000 years,” Rahul had said. The school friends starred together in the 2001 film Asoka. 

In a previous interview with The Lallantop, singer Palash Sen, who was also a classmate of Shah Rukh Khan, expressed his belief that SRK would achieve something greater than a career in films. He described Shah Rukh as an exceptionally intelligent individual, noting the impressive academic results he achieved in school.

On the work front, SRK will be next seen in Sujoy Ghosh’s King with Suhana Khan.
