Sri Reddy will be a part of Raghava Lawrence’s next film. Reddy had earlier alleged that Lawrence received sexual favours from her in exchange for a movie role. Lawrence dismissed her allegations and challenged her to a public audition.
The role in Lawrence’s next film seems to have been the result of this audition.
Sri Reddy told Silverscreen, “I met Lawrence sir at his Chennai home. He asked me to perform a few steps. He was very appreciative of my skills and offered me a role.”
Reddy said that she has been given an advance amount for the film. “I have donated it towards the rehabilitation of victims of the Titli cyclone. Srikakulam people have suffered very badly, I heard. So I have given my signing amount to them.”
Reddy would not comment on the allegations she made against Lawrence. “Past is past. I don’t prefer talking about that bad period in my life,” she said.
She added that some children being taken care of by Raghava Lawrence prayed for her success and well being when she was at his home. “It really made me feel good. There was so much positivity.”
Thus far, Raghava Lawrence has not confirmed the news of Sri Reddy’s casting.
