Sri Reddy, an actress from Telugu Cinema, started blame game and a movement against Casting Couch in Telugu Film Industry. Her major target has been Nani, these days and Vishal came to the rescue of Nani.
He said, "I know him well. He is a very good friend of mine. But I am not defending him for personal reasons. This latest accusation by her (Sri Reddy) is perhaps the most outrageous yet. Anybody who knows Nani knows how particular he is in his behaviour towards men and women.
"She should come forward with evidence of her accusations rather than just naming anyone. It seems like sheâs picking her targets randomly. For all we know, I might be the next one to be named by her.
"In the Tamil and Telugu film industry, any Tom, Dick or Harry can open a office claiming to be a producer and 'audition' girls for roles. The stereotypical image of the starlet with her pushy Amma allowing the so-called producers or his assistant to take advantage of the young girl, is not off the mark.
"You canât just pick on people at random accusing them of sexual exploitation. Of course, exploitation exists, and not just in the entertainment industry. But that doesnât mean people with impeccable reputations can be targeted."
Well, the actor's concerns seems genuine but previously Sri Reddy expressed that only her words should be considered as proofs as she is a lady!

"You never know who will be named next. I seriously think such grave allegations must be substantiated with evidence. Our laws about sex crimes are lopsided. Any woman can make the allegation and the law will act on that allegation and give the accused a chance to defend himself only later. This is not right.
