We would like to bring to everyone’s attention that MAA (Movie Artistes Association) is the only recognized and official association representing artistes across both Telugu states — Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. MAA is affiliated with and recognized by the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce and the Telugu Film Producers Council.
MAA is also the only artistes’ association that works in coordination with all 24 crafts of the Telugu film industry. We function as a unified body to support, represent, and safeguard the interests of our members.
It has recently come to our notice that some individuals and unauthorized groups are misusing the MAA name and creating confusion by using misleading titles such as “AP MAA”, “MAA AP”, and others. And also illegally collecting money from artistes.
We would like to make this absolutely clear:
✅ There is no such organization as “AP MAA or MAA AP” officially recognized by MAA.
✅ MAA has not authorized any individual or group to collect money on its behalf.
We strongly condemn these fraudulent activities and will take strict legal action against anyone found misusing the MAA name or misleading artistes and the public.
We also urge all artistes not to make any payments or take membership in such fraudulent associations.
Please remain vigilant and cautious, and report any such incidents directly to the MAA Office, Film Nagar, Hyderabad.
Let us stand united to protect the dignity, unity, and integrity of our association.
– Movie Artistes Association (MAA)
