Veteran Tamil actor Radha Ravi is yet again in the news! This time for slamming and shaming lady superstar Nayanthara. It so happened that a press meet of Nayanthara-starrer Kolayuthir Kaalam, he spoke about the actress not attending promotional events which she never does. He even gave out some derogatory comments about Nayanthara by talking about giving her movies despite several reports being written against her. Ravi spoke about giving her a chance of playing Goddess Sita on the big screen.
As per reports in India Today, he stated, "Nayanthara is a star now and she's hailed as Lady Superstar. Some even compared her to Puratchi Thalaivar MGR and Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan. They're immortals and it is disheartening to see people include Nayanthara in the list. I agree that Nayanthara is a good actress and she is sustaining in the industry for several years. There have been several reports about her, yet she stands tall. Tamil Nadu people remember anything only for four days, then they forget. Now, she is a known face. She can act as a ghost and as Goddess Sita as well. Back in those days, if filmmakers have a Goddess character in the film, they'd go for veteran actress KR Vijaya. But now, anybody can play the role. Paatha udane kumbudravangalayum podalam, paatha udane koopadravangalyum podalam (We can cast those who are respected and those who sleep around). Nayanthara, of late, acts in horror films. If the ghosts see her in person, they'll run away."
Check out the video below:
Nayanthara's boyfriend Vignesh Shivan and Chinmayi Sripaada took to their Twitter pages and slammed Radha Ravi for his distasteful comments. Take a look:
Radha Ravi went on to mock #MeToo movement at the event stating, "I also advised Mathi (Kolayuthir Kaalam's producer and Radha Ravi's son-in-law) to get agreements from artists that they'll attend promotions. Also, another agreement that states that the hero will touch the heroine in any way during a flm's shooting and that the latter shouldn't make a big deal of it later."
We have to wait and see how Nayanthara reacts to it!
