The decision the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) to take back actor Dileep to the body has not been well received by a few quarters.
The latest to make a comment on the controversial decision made by AMMA is noted Malayalam writer NS Madhavan. Referring to the popular #MeToo global movement against sexual harassment, he laughed at the move as well as the case involving Dileep as #MeToo incidents.

“Worst #MeToo incident happened not in Hollywood, but in Kerala, when an actor allegedly paid money to a gang to get an actress raped. The case is on, but male chauvinist pigs of Malayalam actors’ guild, AMMA, are shouting ‘me too’ ‘me too’ in support of the accused!” (sic), he tweeted.
