Actor Sri Reddy's protest against sexual harassment has taken an unexpected turn. Right after her ban was lifted by the Movie Artists Association (MAA), she created a stir again when she abused actor Pawan Kalyan on TV after which she was subjected to trolls and insults from Pawan's fans.

In a shocking turn of events, the main man behind this controversy has come to light as he himself took his confession to Twitter. Director and screenwriter Ram Gopal Varma on Wednesday took it to Twitter to say that he was the reason behind Sri Reddy’s abusive rant against Pawan Kalyan.

According to reports, he directed her to do so that she would garner attention. It is also reported that he asked her to command for Rs 5 crore from Suresh Babu in compensation for what his son has done.

The Sri Reddy controversy began on April 7th when the actress stripped down to protest against the casting couch in Tollywood. After not being offered roles for months, the actress in a fit of rage went topless to catch the attention of the industry.
