Miffed with actor Asif Ali for leaving them clueless about his absence in CCL, Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) has decided to initiate strict action against him.

True, things were not all smooth between the young actor and Amma Kerala Strikers right from the beginning. Conspicuous by his absence during all the practice sessions, no wonder Asif Ali was given the go while the final list of players was announced.

Although actor Prithviraj too was excluded from the final list, he was there in the stadium providing moral support to the players. Moreover, Prithviraj had informed the team officials well in advance that he would not be available for the CCL matches due to his tight shooting schedule.

Apparantly, Asif never even bothered to answer the phone calls made by the team manager, team owner and team captain.

AMMA secretary Idavela Babu said, “Even such a busy actor like Mammootty came over to the stadium to cheer the home team. Kerala Strikers has been formed under the guidance of AMMA. We would take strict action in this .
