Meera Jasmine had a meteoric rise in the South Indian film industry. She is now doing quite well in the Telugu film industry too, her latest being Gorintaku about abrother-sister bond, where she plays the sister’s role. For this supporting role, she has demanded and got the amount she is commanding as a heroine.

Meanwhile back home in Kerala, Meera’s charm doesn’t seem to be working. AMMA has put a ban on her working in Malayalam movies. According to insiders, Meera was approached to play a part in the mega production Twenty:20, featuring all of Malluwood’s major stars, who are acting for free. The Malayalam film association, AMMA is producing Twenty:20, whose proceeds will go for the Association welfare funds.

By refusing to act in Twenty:20 (as her dates clashed with her Telugu movie’s dates), Meera Jasmine ruffled quite a feathers. The result is that she has been banned from acting in any Malayalam movies until AMMA lifts the ban.

It remains to be seen how Meera’s fortunes will fare as she doesn’t usually do many Malayalam movies and her star is waning in Kollywood too.
