Raghava Lawrence was one of the Kollywood Celebs against whom Sri Reddy leveled serious allegations. The Choreographer-turned-Director has finally responded to the Casting Couch controversy.
In the statement issued to the press, Lawrence questioned Sri Reddy why didn't she raise the issue 7-Years-Ago. 'Sri Reddy claims to have met Me during the making of 'Rebel'. Which means, 7 Years has passed. Why didn't she make these allegations then itself? Sri Reddy says she found Photos of Gods and Rudrakshas in my hotel room, and I had abused her. Am I a fool to place such things at hotels and perform pooja?,' he questioned.
Showing pity on her desperation, Lawrence offered to cast her in his film if her acting skills and dances satisfy him. 'Let's call for a press meet. I will be giving a scene and simple dance steps for Sri Reddy to test her calibre. I am ready to offer a good character if she performs well. May be, She might get more offers upon acting in my movie. If Sri Reddy feels uncomfortable to act in front of media, She can contact My Manager so that the session will be conducted in the presence of limited people. She can bring her Lawyer and Well-Wishers with her. I'm responding not because that I am scared, but due to the respect I have for woman. That is why I built a temple for My Mother and dedicated it to all the women. Let's Be Good, Do Good...I pray for your well-being,' says the Filmmaker.
