ControversyKamal’s letter asking Minister Balan to consider making Left-leaning and progressive employees permanent at the Academy created a row.CrisMalayalam filmmaker Kamal, who is also the Chairman of the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy, landed in controversy recently over a letter that he had written to the state's Minister of Culture Ak Balan last year. The letter, which lists reasons for making four employees of the Academy permanent, has a part highlighting their Leftist leanings. This part has been criticised as Kamal trying to win the favour of the Left government. In the letter, Kamal had said, "It will help to sustain the leftist character of the Chalachithra Academy, which has a great place among Kerala's cultural institutions, to make permanent these employees who are Left sympathisers and engaged in cultural work involving leftist and progressive values." Kamal told Tnm that he regrets writing the last part and could have avoided it.
