''I WANT DIRECTOR SURAAJ TO APOLOGISE''

In a recent interview, director Suraaj had spoken about why he wants heroines to act in glamour roles in all his films. His response has not gone well with some of the popular actors like Nayanthara and Tamannaah. 

Tamannaah has now responded to Suraaj’s comment through her Twitter handle which reads as follows:

"This is 2016 and its very ironic that I had to leave a film like Dangal in the middle which is on woman empowerment to tackle this issue. I am very hurt and angered by the comments made by my director Suraaj and I would definitely want him to apologise not only to me but to the entire women in the industry. We are actors and are here to act and entertain the audiences and should not at any point be objectified as commodities. I have been working in the South industry for over 11 years and have worn costumes, which I have been comfortable with. It is sad that women in our country are spoken about so frivolously and I would like to tell my audiences that our industry should not be generalised due to comments made by one such individual."
