What Did Sri Reddy Say?
After claiming to reveal the names of the people involved in casting couch operations for weeks, budding actress Sri Reddy indirectly claimed that Sekhar Kammula was involved.
"Because he's a top director, he's arrogant and he lies all the time. He feels that Telugu women are only meant to sleep with him. He has broken several promises, he's both strong and scared and has used technology to his advantage. He used to roam near my house like a watchman and he is always desperate for a video call. He's also notorious for taking money from male artists. He's none other than Kommulu Vachina Sekharudu (translated from Telugu)," she posted on her Facebook account.
