Very few people knew who Sri Reddy was, until the television presenter-turned-actress who was seen hardly in 2 to 3 films.
Last month, she announced to leak Tollywood dark secrets of casting couch like how singer Suchitra leaked Kollywood illicit affairs in the name of Suchi Leaks.
Media’s Focus:
Soon after Sri Reddy announced her plans of leaking Tollywood casting couch affairs, media shifted its focus completely, though there were many serious issues in the state such as protests to get SCS for Andhra Pradesh.
Most of the TV channels invited Sri Reddy to debates and they behaved as if they would resolve all her problems.
Especially one particular channel showed special interest on Sri Reddy and they regularly invited her for their ‘special chat shows’.
Sri Reddy’s Next Step:
As announced, Sri Reddy started leaking pics, snap shots of her WhatsApp chats with few Telugu celebrities.
She initially alleged singer Sri Ram Chandra, a YouTube popular comedian, a successful hero and director Sekhar Kammula of using her with a promise of giving her film offers.
Except for Sekhar Kammula, none dared to condemn or speak their version about the issue. Sekhar Kammula even warned to file legal action against her.
When the actress said she didn’t mean to target that particular director and she narrates fantasy stories to her followers in social media, many thought that will be the end for Sri Leaks.
Warning To MAA And Telangana Government:
Sri Reddy then requested Telangana CM KCR to resolve her issues or else she would stage a fast to death, which will be followed by a nude protest in public.
Apparently, she would have expected government or MAA (Movie Artists Association) will consider her warning seriously. But, even normal public took her lightly.
Nude Protests At MAA:
Sri Reddy had stripped in front of the MAA building to protest women from other parts of the country being given prime priority.
She had later alleged that outsiders were more willing to trade sex for movie roles.
Sri claimed that MAA was not giving her membership despite the fact that she acted in several movies and also produced three films. Sri Reddy was then arrested and released on the same day.
MAA Announced Ban:
MAA President Sivaji Raja in a meeting conducted on the very next day after Sri Reddy’s nude protest before the chamber said it was nothing but a publicity stunt.
He denied to give MAA membership to her and also announced that the 900 members of the Association will never act with her. Actually, MAA or any other association will not have rights to ban an artist.
Sri Reddy’s Biggest Leak:
Sri Reddy took brave decision after MAA association made serious allegations against her. To everyone’s shock, the actress leaked her intimate pics with popular producer Suresh Babu’s younger son Abhiram.
She accused Abhiram of exploiting her sexually with a false promise of marrying her and also giving her movie offers.
Why Suresh Babu And Abhiram Were Mum:
Neither Suresh Babu nor Abhiram came before media either to condemn Sri Reddy’s allegations or to express their views regarding the matter.
Sri Reddy’s Other Leaks:
In the meantime, when everyone was shocked and enthused to know whether Sri Reddy’s allegations were true or not, Kona Venkat and director Koratala Siva’s names were surfaced online. While Kona Venkat condemned the reports, Koratala Siva maintained mum.
Cut To Friday:
MAA in its meeting on Friday announced to have lifted ban against Sri Reddy, besides vowing to set up a committee against sexual harassment.
MAA president Shivaji Raja affirmed that the association took the decision after the members asked him to rethink about ban.
MAA delegates have, however, not assured any action or investigation against Suresh Babu’s son or others.
Sri Reddy Changed Voice In TV Interview:
Sri Reddy in a TV program said that she will never again attend debates as she is willing to take legal action against ‘Kona Venkat’ in the matter, rather filing case against Abhiram who actually alleged to have cheated her in the name of film offers.
She in the debate also clarified that, director Teja mediated to resolve the matter, adding things didn’t settle between them.
What Happened In 24 Hours?
The biggest question is what happened in 24 hours from Thursday to Friday that MAA exhibited its sudden love towards Sri Reddy by lifting ban against her and on the other hand the actress too announced not to come out for TV debates which hinted ‘the end’ to Sri Reddy leaks controversy.
Why Media Zero Focus On Suresh Babu Family?
Interestingly, no media channel tried to contact Suresh Babu in these 24 hours time period, though they always have access to approach him or his son Abhiram.
Further, they didn’t even show visuals of Suresh Babu’s house or studio as to prove their sincerity in the matter, while telecasting debates with Sri Reddy. Apparently, electronic media for unknown reasons tried to save Suresh Babu from the matter.
Teja’s Mediation:
Teja has been maintaining healthy relationship with Suresh Babu ever since he was offered to direct Rana in Nene Raju Nene Mantri under Suresh Productions.
The director is supposed to make another film for the production that will have Venkatesh in lead role.
Maybe to showcase his gratitude, Teja besides offering roles to Sri Reddy in his two upcoming films, he is said to have intervened to settle the matter between the actress and the ace producer.
After Teja’s negotiations with Sri Reddy failed, she immediately leaked her romantic pictures with Abhiram and also WhatsApp chat snapshots with a writer and director.
What Might Have Happened?
Seems like, Suresh Babu used his full powers to put an end to the matter, without even moving his foot from his house.
It appears as if MAA acted as per the instructions from Suresh Babu in its fresh meeting where they announced to lift ban against Sri Reddy.
The actress too changed her voice all of the sudden during her last chat session with a TV channel. Apparently, MAA lifting ban on Sri Reddy was just to show this as reason for Sri Reddy’s next move of proclaiming to stop approaching media again in the matter.
All in all, Sri Reddy won in the matter, wherein ‘MAA’ lost its dignity with two different announcements in two different dates. Suresh Babu and his son are too lucky to escape, opine many!
