Singer Chinmayi has been known for her hit songs, and of late has been hitting headlines for being the active crusader of the Me Too campaign, raising her voice against sexual misconduct and abuse cases existing in the film industry, and due to the conflicts, has lost many movie singing and dubbing offers.

Her husband Rahul Ravindran, actor and now director, who had debuted with Chi La Sow last year, and is now ready with his second directorial venture Manmadhudu 2 starring Nagarjuna and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles, and with special cameo appearances by Samantha, Keerthy Suresh and Akshara Gowda.

The teaser of the movie released recently had a lot of liplock sequences and intimate sequences, and Chinmayi has been actively promoting her husband's movie on social media. However, netizens are up against her, digging a past tweet of her, where she had said "Indian film industry heroes being cast with heroines that should be as old as their kids is the norm. It didn't stop, did it?". Netizens are trolling and abusing the singer, calling the singer's support for Manmadhudu as double standards, as Nagarjuna is seen romancing young heroines as well.
