The Telugu film industry has finally responded to Sri Reddy’s casting couch allegations. A committee will be formed and the Movie Artistes Association (MAA) has also revoked its earlier decision and asked filmmakers to take Sri Reddy in their films.
Meanwhile, director Ram Gopal Varma hailed Sri Reddy for her great victory. “The casting couch has existed ever since the advent of cinema a 100 years back. Not getting into individual allegations but Sri Reddy has drawn more attention to the evils of the casting couch than anyone in the last 100 years and I salute her for that,” said RGV on his Twitter account, adding that the actress’ stripping act was a daring one.

“Those who thought @MsSriReddy was wrong in stripping can’t deny, it’s only that shock which woke up both national and international communities..Sri Reddy’s mother should be proud of what her daughter achieved for the film industry in general and aspiring actresses in particular (sic),” wrote the director.
