These three were ready to contest against Mohanlal to post of AMMA president, but later decided against it

Actor Mohanlal has been elected as the president of Malayalam actors' conclave 'AMMA' for the third time. He was elected unopposed. Unni Mukundan was also unopposed to the post of treasurer. The competition is now towards the post of General Secretary and Vice President. Siddique, Kukku Parameswaran and Unni Sivapal are in the fray to replace Edavela Babu, who has been the general secretary of 'AMMA' for more than two decades.

As per sources, Kukku Parameswaran, Anoop Chandran and Jayan Cherthala were ready to contest against Mohanlal.
