Power Star Pawan Kalyan responded to Sri Reddy's abusive remarks and lashed out at the Telugu media for sensationalising the news.
Actress Sri Reddy's revelations about the alleged casting couch and sexual harassment within the Telugu film industry has taken Tollywood by a storm. Many respectable names were revealed as part of these allegations made by Reddy.
One of the names she mentioned was Power Star Pawan Kalyan, who recently got embroiled in a controversy when he suggested that Reddy take matters through a legal channel rather than going public. To which Reddy reciprocated with abusive remarks and gestures, reports IB Times, allegedly aimed at the actor and his mother.
