Did Mohanlal and actor Baiju Santhosh get into an argument at AMMA meeting? Actress Sarayu Mohan reacts
Mohanlal and actor Baiju Santhosh have been making the headlines after an alleged argument took place between them. Now, in a troll page's post, actress Sarayu Mohan and a member of AMMA, has dropped a sarcastic comment.
What happened between Mohanlal and Baiju?
As per ongoing speculations, including a report by Mathrubhumi, the two actors came together for a meeting at the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA). During the conversation, Baiju apparently reacted against Mohanlal's decision to never return as the organization's president.
However, the actor's words were laced with sarcasm and said, 'What's the big deal about becoming president, you don't have to move a muscle.' (Translated from Malayalam). This led Mohanlal to react sharply, and he said, 'If you're here to speak, do that and go. I will decide whether I resign or not.'
Actress Sarayu Mohan reacts to speculations
While this alleged interaction is doing the rounds on the internet, actress Saryu Mohan commented on a Facebook post. The meme focused on the supposed interaction, to which the actress ridiculed it and said, 'Then…Then, what happened?'
For those unaware, Mohanlal was serving as the president of AMMA in 2024. Owing to the misconduct allegations that emerged against the members of the organization, the superstar stepped down as the president, dissolving the elected committee.
Now, as the organization is planning to reform with new members, it appears that Mohanlal might not return as the president.
Coming to his work front, the actor was last seen in a lead role in the movie Thudarum. The crime thriller directed by Tharun Moorthy featured the tale of a former film stuntman who leads a quiet life with his wife and two kids in a town in Kerala.
However, when his beloved car is dragged into a criminal investigation, the film takes a turn, revealing a dark truth behind it. How the man faces it and the rageful revenge he takes against the wrongdoers form the rest of the story.
Moving ahead, the superstar will soon be hitting the big screens with his cameo appearance in Vishnu Manchu starrer Kannappa. The fantasy film features Mohanlal as a tribal warrior with Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, and Kajal Aggarwal also in cameo roles.

When Jagathy Sreekumar predicted the rise of AI in cinema: 'Maybe they won't need actors one day'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) At the time when AI is rapidly transforming industries across the globe, an old interview of legendary Malayalam actor Jagathy Sreekumar has resurfaced—and it's nothing short of prophetic. In a candid conversation with actor Kottayam Nazeer years ago, Jagathy had reflected on the changing nature of acting and even hinted at a future where technology might replace human performers altogether. 'Acting for the sake of acting' is no longer needed Jagathy spoke about how acting styles evolve with time and how realism has overtaken dramatic performances. 'There are differences in acting style over different eras,' he said. 'Even we used to feel that the older generation overacted—but we never said it openly. We just said, 'They're the best.'' Jagathy's daughter Sreelakshmi picks her favourite characters played by her dad He emphasized that today's audience prefers subtlety and realism. 'Now the audience doesn't need 'acting for the sake of acting.' What they expect is realism, where the feel of 'acting' itself vanishes,' he explained. AI and the future of performance But what stunned many was Jagathy's striking observation about the potential of artificial intelligence. 'Maybe in the future, all this won't be needed. There might be a day when they don't even need actors,' he predicted. 'Technology is advancing so fast that maybe, just a picture of ours would be enough to create an entire scene.' At a time when AI-generated content, digital avatars, and synthetic performances are becoming a reality in cinema, Jagathy's prediction seems to have come true. The legend returns with 'Vala' Interestingly, while AI gains traction, the beloved actor is also set to make his long-awaited comeback with the film 'Vala'. The movie is directed by Arun Chandu and is a sci-fi entertainer. 'Vala' also features Anarkali Marikar, Basil Joseph, Aju Varghese, KB Ganesh Kumar and many others in pivotal roles. Jagathy also played a pivotal role in Mammootty's 'CBI 5'.

Madhoo says she rejected Amitabh Bachchan's film, was not happy with work in Bollywood: ‘After working in South…'
Actor Madhoo rose to fame with several hit films like Phool Aur Kaante and Roja. However, in 1999, the actor married Anand Shah and left the industry. She made her comeback after 12 years and is now quite active in films. In an interview with Lehren Retro, Madhoo opened up about her break from films. Madhoo recalls giving up on Amitabh Bachchan's film for marriage. Madhoo recalled working with all the A-listers in Bollywood and said, 'By 1997, I had started feeling discontent. I thought I was not doing good work, and I wasn't excited about my work anymore. After working with authentic, realistic directors in the South, it felt odd to return to work with directors who would put a board and show that we are somewhere else, and cheat in films. As an artiste, I became sad going to sets. The thing I had once desired most, being on a film set, started to irritate me.' She recalled rejecting a film with Amitabh Bachchan for her marriage and said, 'I call myself destiny's child. What people today refer to as manifestation, I experienced back then. Every time I've strongly felt something, it has come true for me. Just when I realized I didn't want to continue with films, love entered my life. I got married, and I walked away from acting completely. I was tempted once, I got a big film with Amitabh Bachchan, the one that eventually went to Soundarya. My wedding date was fixed, and I told my secretary I didn't want to do it. He asked me to reconsider, but I was firm.' The film, which was released in 1999, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Soundarya, was Sooryavansham. The film starred Big B in a dual role alongside Jayasudha, Rachna Banerjee, Anupam Kher and Kader Khan. It bombed at the box office, but later gained a cult following. Madhoo's recent and upcoming films Madhoo was recently seen in Kannappa. The devotional film, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, stars Vishnu Manchu in the lead role alongside Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, and Kaushal Manda in key roles. The film also features star-studded cameos by Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, and Prabhas. Madhoo will next be seen in the movie Chinna Chinna Aasai. The romantic drama is written and directed by Varsha Vasudev and is produced by Abhijit Babuji under the Babuji Productions banner. The film also stars actor Indrans, and the release date is yet to be announced.
