GS B. Unnikrishnan expressed disappointment over some actors

The FEFKA is the umbrella association for 19 various groups, from drivers to directors. This is what GS B. Unnikrishnan had to say!

The Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA) on Tuesday expressed its disapproval over the behavior of “some” of the performers, sparking a new issue in the Malayalam film industry.

The FEFKA is the umbrella organization for 19 organizations, ranging from drivers to directors. According to its general secretary, Director B. Unnikrishnan, things are becoming problematic due to the actions of some actors.

“Before every film starts, the actors have to ink an agreement which has been cleared by the AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes), but it has now come to notice that it’s not being done. The problem now is certain actors are giving the same dates and time to different directors and producers and if they sign the agreement, they know they will be in trouble and hence, they don’t do it,” he said.

“Another new problem that has now surfaced is some actors insist they be called when the film editing is being done and also others, who the actors say, also should be allowed to see the editing,” Unnikrishnan added.

He did not specifically name these “trouble-makers,” but he gave enough of a hint by stating that not all performers are behaving in this way, only some of them.

Those in the know claim that a few actors from the new generation are troublemakers.

Now that the FEFKA has fired the opening volley, all eyes are on the Mohanlal-led AMMA to see how they would reply to the accusations.
