Veteran actor Thilakan plans to defy AMMA's (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) ultimatum for a regret message and challenges it to act against him. The actor who made it clear that he will think of giving an explanation only after receiving the letter from the association also said that AMMA cannot prevent him from his artistic endeavours, as it is not a trade union. The actor also made it clear that doing his work is not only his birth right as well as constitutional right.

Thilakan has been at loggerheads with filmi organisations and superstars since 2004. His first criticism was against character actor Nedumudi Venu who was accused claiming his roles. Then it turned against superstar Mohanlal with allegations about the presence of a Thiruvananthapuram lobby of upper caste Nairs, working against him in the film industry. And for this time Thilakan has also mentioned about the other superstar, Mammootty behaving like a Goonda leader.

According to Innocent, the president of AMMA, Thilakan could have raised his complaints at AMMA rather than going out to public and media. Innocent points out that Thilakan's remarks against Mammootty and AMMA have the nature of character assassination and personal humiliation, which demands satisfactory explanation from the actor. ''As per my knowledge, there is no ban on any actor imposed by AMMA'' adds Innocent.
