Anchor Jhansi who is a part of the association recently opened up about the same issue in an interview. She said that it was their mistake in not looking at the issue properly.

“I have not spoken much about the casting couch issues. It is sad that people like me failed to support Sri Reddy when she is fighting. Staying silent was our mistake. We may have some personal differences with her but what she has pointed out is real and an existing issue in the film industry.” said Jhansi.

She also revealed that a panel was formed in the industry which comprises of Nandini Reddy, Manchu Lakshmi, Surpiya Yarlagadda and others.

The sexy siren Shruti Haasan is currently very much happy with the music work that she is doing.

Meanwhile, the exciting buzz is that she has opened up on the casting couch incidents in the film industry. Her comments are currently creating a sensation in the film industry as she has worked in Telugu, Tamil and Bollywood film industries.

Sharing her opinion on the casting couch, Shruti said, “Casting Couch exists in the film industry. I heard about my friends talking about it. I came from the background of a film family and hence I have not faced any such incidents. I think people should fight against it in actions rather than words.” said Shruti.

Mega princess Niharika Konidela recently came up with the film titled Happy Wedding. The film has Sumanth Ashwin in the lead role. The movie has become a flop at the box office and during a recent media interaction, the actress opened up about the casting couch.

“Casting couch exists everywhere and it is not correct to say that it exists in the film industry alone. I have seen so many stories and have heard too. There is the abuse happening in every industry. If something happens without our concern, it is certainly sexual assault or sexual rape. Nothing really happens without our consent. Frankly speaking, I am not talking by being in their situation because my background is completely different and I cannot open up in it clearly” said Niharika Konidela.

Popular Telugu actress Poonam Kaur has been making statements now and then on different things that are going in the Telugu film industry. She recently joined the debate on the casting couch and made some shocking allegations on a director as well as producer.

She recently made allegations on a producer who is said to have asked her to meet him. When she went to meet him along with her mom, the director looked upset because the actress came with her mother. Later Poonam Kaur revealed that the producer visited her house and offered films for her if she could give the commitment.

The actress did not hesitate to say that the star heroines have to suffer at some time but they will pretend as if nothing has happened in their career.

The discussion of casting couch is active in every film industry in India. The Bollywood female celebrities have openly spoken about it. Now, the latest to raise the voice is Alia Bhatt. She recently spoke about casting couch and added her opinion.

“Whenever these topics come in the debates and the discussions, the atmosphere within changes and it appears negative. The people start thinking bad about the film industry. I never experienced any casting couch in the industry. A lot of people try to take advantage of our weakness but we should be strong enough to face everything.” said the actress.

She also added that the parents are to be informed about the same when casting couch is faced. She said that a complaint with the cops will do the justice.

The Casting Couch discussion is shaking up the film industry for quite a long time. There is always one or the other who is raising the voice against the ill-aspect of the film industry. It is now the time of Rashmi Gautham, the Jabardasth host to open up on Casting Couch and give her opinion on the same.

As many expressed their opinions in different forms, Rashmi has took to Twitter and said, “Sexual exploitation of women happens everywhere address the bigger issue and stop targeting the film industry in the name of #castingcouch let’s do our bit to put an end to this rather than making it a topic for cheap thrills.” said Rashmi Gautham.

The MAA association formed a special committee called CASH to address the issues of women.

Actress Samantha is happy with the way her new film U-Turn shoot is progressing. She is also happy to be a part of the prestigious project titled Mahanati in which she played the character called Madhuravani. The actress is actively participating in the promotions of the movie and during one of her interviews, she opened up on the casting couch.

Sri Reddy’s Casting couch issue has been getting worse day by day. Recently, many facts came into limelight and now an audio tape between Sri Reddy and a transgender has been leaked.

However, some main points discussed are:

Sri Reddy says RGV spoiled entire cause by giving wrong advice. He asked me to demand 5 crores to Suresh Babu, however, I denied. RGV asked me to use M** word against Pawan Kalyan. Because of that one word entire movement spoiled.

Sri Reddy says YSRCP did a great sketch in all this (but they didn’t clearly reveal what sketch YSRCP did) We will not seek TDP support. TDP should come themselves and support us Mahaa Murthy bothered only about his TRP ratings and didn’t bother about me.

He has nothing against us but he only wanted his TRPs We will fight further in Delhi. Actress Madhavi Latha posting against me (Junior artist Tamanna). Social media is excited with the rumors on YSRCP supporting us and giving us money but no party gave anything to us.

I (Sri Reddy) am very very disheartened seeing our movement dissipating but will soon revive the fight. Don’t be in contact with anyone from YSRCP.

Finally, Power Star Pawan Kalyan responded on Sri Reddy issue. Pawan Kalyan made a silent protest at Necklace Road, Hyderabad on April 14th to condemn abduction, rape, and murder of eight old years old child Asifa in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir.

When media questioned about Pawan to comment on Sri Reddy issue, he said that “such incidents should be reported to the right authorities. The complaints should be lodged with the police as well as case should be filed in court for legal action.

The government should respond and execute its powers in booking the culprits. He suggested Sri Reddy to approach Police and Courts for the justice instead of debating on news channels for hours. He further added that going to media and participating in debates in TV Channels doesn’t help to solve the issue. Even though I support this issue, the way the issue is fought is not correct.”

Pawan Kalyan also asked media channels to stop making everything sensational in order to get TRPs. He asked media to stand by the victims and question the Police in case they fail to attend Sri Reddy’s case.

It seems after Suchi leaks in Kollywood, now, the secrets of Tollywood celebs seem to be at stake. Actress Sri Reddy has made sensational claims, stating that she will expose the names of people involved in casting couch in the Telugu film industry.

In the last couple of days, YouTube sensation Sri Reddy has gone on to claim on TV news and on her Facebook account that she is going to reveal the names of the celebrities, who promised her to cast in their movies in exchange of sexual favours.

Sri Reddy has claimed that she has given evidence to the channel and she will take the issue to the national media if the said channel fails to expose the names. “Sri rama Chandra I have all proofs to show,how worst you are..wait bidda..might be u r a great indian bridal.. “she posted on her Facebook today.

On the work front, Sri Reddy is working in two of director Teja’s films.

Ileana Dcruz is one of the star heroines in Telugu film, and she is the first heroine to charge a crore rupee as a remuneration. Later on, she changed her base to Bollywood and got busy with Hindi films. She recently opened up about the aspect of casting couch where she told that the heroines who open up on it would not get their next opportunity.

“Many people won’t understand, but the fact is that the heroines who openly comment on casting couch will not be entertained in the film industry. Once upon a time, while I’m working in the south film industry, a junior artist came to me and asked for my suggestion that if she had to compromise with a star producer. I told her that I could not take her life decisions. The women should be independent and should be able to take their own decisions. A lot of women are ready to compromise in the film industry, but it is their wish.” Revealed Ileana.

She also told that it is hard and tough to prove the allegations on star heroes in the film industry because the people are never ready to believe that they did something wrong in reality.

Bollywood director Vivek Agnihotri’s comments created a sensation in the film industry. Inspired from the global movements like #MeToo and Time’s Up, Vivek took his social media to express that not just women, but also men are subjected to sexual harassment and abuse by the ones who are in power.

It all began with accusations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, that he started to reveal a few incidents. His nephew who wanted to step into Bollywood was sexually harassed and abused.

Vivek Agnihotri wrote on his twitter timeline,”I tweeted in the context that it’s not just women who are forced to compromise, that even young boys do go through the trauma. It can’t be just a women’s #MeToo,” he said. “If one tries to expose the Harvey Weinsteins of Bollywood, some very big empires and icons will fall down. My nephew was a victim of one of those. But who will fight their muscle? You need many Kangana Ranauts for that.”

He also concluded that there are three kinds of politics in the movie industry — sexual politics, money politics and power politics. A desperate actor can become a victim of any of these political games. Some people are forced to sleep around. Some are forced to invest money for a two-bit role. Some are just forced to give in to the power of the employer,” he added.

Now that Vivek Agnihotri has spoken this, it says that there are more bugs in the movie industry than we imagine.

Parvathy has been riding high on the success of her latest release Take Off, but she had to deal with her fair share of struggles and rejections before reaching the comfortable position that she is in today.

While talking to leading talk show, the actress revealed why her acting career came to a staggering halt and how she chose to say ‘no’ to the menacing phenomenon called casting couch even during her trying times.

When quizzed about the presence of casting couch in Malayalam film industry, the actress unabashedly said, “Of course there is casting couch in the Malayalam industry. I’m sure that you know that and I know a lot of people know that. I don’t understand why it comes as a surprise at all. It is there in many other industries also. It’s a reality, why are we even shocked about it?.. I haven’t faced casting couch in any other industry, including Tamil, Kannada Hindi but only in Malayalam industry. It was sort of an obligation. See we gave you the break and I was like what break dude? I already did my job and I don’t think I have to do anything more.”

Out of work for a significant amount of time, Parvathy was asked and expected to make sexual favors but she held her ground and refused to succumb to industry pressure. Known as the lady Prithviraj of film fraternity, Parvathy was subjected to body shaming by veterans.
