Casting Couch issue is rocking the Tollywood for the last few weeks and Sri Reddy has been instrumental in bringing this issue to the limelight. Though she was getting support for the fight against casting couch, Sri Reddy faced severe criticism for calling Pawan Kalyan with a foul word. Many people felt that Sri Reddy fight has been deviated by unnecessarily targeting Pawan Kalyan.
When Kathi Mahesh was asked the same question in a media channel discussion, he gave an interesting answer. He said "What Sri Reddy said about Pawan and her foul language is certainly deplorable.. it is not acceptable and it should be condemned. That doesn't mean the issue got deviated.. I would rather say that the issue has been diverted by some people. She used a cuss word and she gave her clarification later. So Pawan issue is closed."
When the interviewer asked Kathi who is diverting the issue? He said "Nagababu garu held a press meet. He was saying general things like his brother has guts etc. But he didn't talk about Vakada Apparao. He should have clarified that they are taking action on Vakada Apparao as casting couch allegations have been raised against him. It could have sent a strong message to the people who do wrong things. So they are diverting the issue. Sri Reddy is not the issue.. casting couch in the film industry is the main issue. What about forming CASH committee? If they could have really formed CASH committee all these artists would have approached them. It is the chamber who is not taking the right decision on the issue, they are not giving an opportunity for redressal mechanism. So I would say that it is the Chamber and the Film Industry are diverting the issue."
