Character actors should have at least ten films and that too with their screen presence for at least 5 minutes. Associate members won’t have the right to vote. We have already conveyed to the producers to offer roles to the members only and the producers’ council also considers our word. Actors or Members who post on social media against MAA will be permanently removed from MAA. Any person who has five years of membership can contest in MAA elections,” Manchu Vishnu added

One is to construct a building near film Nagar and the second option is to construct a new building in the place of the current film chamber building at my own expense. Many of the members agreed to the second option”. “We have introduced a book on how the majority of actors can get a chance to work. Under the advisory of Padmasri Sunitha Krishnan, we are forming a committee to protect women members of MAA. Members who are above 60 years of age and also financially weak, will get the pension through MAA.”, The actor added.
