After a series of simmering issues, ace director
Priyadarshan has resigned from the Kerala Chalachithra Academy and the post was left vacant since then. However there are some reports that National Award winning director
Rajeev Nath has an edge over other hopefuls for the Academy chairperson's post.
Incidentally, a month ago, film editor Beena Paul Venugopal had also quit as the artistic director of the International Film Festivalof Kerala.
