Director of Tamanna's latest movie "Kathi Sandai" (Okkadochadu in Telugu) has given an unacceptable answer when asked about Tamanna's glamour show in the film. "Heroines are hear to wear skimpy clothes and flaunt glamour. If they want to showcase acting, they can do it in TV serials. Here they have to show skin only", director Sooraj said.
Reacting the same, Tamanna has given this statement:
"This is 2016 and its very ironic that I had to leave a film like Dangal in the middle which is on woman empowerment to tackle this issue. I am very hurt and angered by the comments made by my director Suraaj and I would definitely want him to apologise not only to me but to the entire women in the industry. We are actors and are here to act and entertain the audiences and should not at any point be objectified as commodities. I have been working in the South industry for over 11 yrs and have worn costumes, which I have been comfortable with. It is sad that women in our country are spoken about so frivolously and i would like to tell my audiences that our industry should not be generalised due to comments made by one such individual."
