The bold actress with strong conviction Shruthi Hariharan made a statement on casting couch in the cinema industry at the beginning of her career at a discussion in Hyderabad sometime ago.
There were several bouquets and brickbats for Shruthi Hariharan disclose of two cases of ‘Casting Couch’. The social media was very busy after Shruthi Hariharan statements.
First time after such statements Shruthi Hariharan spoke to media at Dharmagiri Sri Manjunatheshwara temple on Monday on her new film ‘Nathicharami’.
Even before the panel discussion in Hyderabad I have told the issue of casting couch. The media attached importance only after this discussion. I stand by what I have told. I have made the statement keeping in mind a Kannada and Tamil producer in mind. The fulfillment of ‘Pre requisite’ for a role came to my notice and I had rejected such offers.
Why the names of producers are not disclosed is the question asked to Shruthi Hariharan. She has firmly decided not to disclose the names of producers and middlemen who came with ‘Pre requisite’.
I have responsibility today after five years in my career. Those who have acted especially artists like me would get affected with such disclosure. I should not do so. It is my duty to protect my colleagues says Shruthi Hariharan. For the safety of new heroines Shruthi Hariharan has consulted her colleagues for a right thinking.
Has the offers dropped after such statements? There is no career fall in this connection. I had 10 films in the last year and good offers are increasing. In ‘Nathicharami’ the role is female oriented, in Adya I have an IPS officer role, a few more are in the pipeline says Shruthi Hariharan.
