Small-time actress, Sri Reddy had kicked up a storm in the Telugu industry alleging the existence of casting couch and questioning of girls being imported from other regions over picking up actresses from Telugu state. Sri Reddy protested outside the Telugu Films Chamber of Commerce at the Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad by going topless. The actress said that she chose this method to vent out her grief and frustration against casting couch and the exploitation of Telugu girls on the promise of film offers. She had also leaked intimate pictures of hers with producer Suresh Babu’s son Abhiram Daggubati who sexually exploited her.
