Undoubtedly, social media has reshaped the communication industry and redefined the ways in which we communicate and express ourselves. People have embraced social media so much that it has become an integral part of our lives now. It has been a boon and a bane at the same time.
This open platform has been a threat who take advantage of some others’ identities and cheat people be it commoners or celebrities as well. In recent times, one such team has been exposed by popular director Ashwin Saravanan who made his debut with Nayanthara’s Maya and then shot on to fame directing the hit multi-lingual thriller, Game Over.
Taking to his Twitter handle, the director has shared a few screenshots which are between the fake casting agency and an actor. He wrote, “An IG page by the name of AAA Fel!s Creations have been putting out fake casting calls to a few respected actors in the industry. They have been using my name to basically pitch a project that doesn't exist to make advances of sexual nature.”
He continued, “I received the following screenshots today. This makes me both sad and livid that a few lowlives like these ruin it for each and every woman who aspires to be a someone in the industry. I intend to pursue this legally.”
“I really hope and wish the industry becomes a better place for both men and women. Please be on the look out for such fake casting calls. Always double-check with reliable sources and never encourage private conversations with the same. Stay safe. Inside and out,” he concluded.
