Gone are the days when speaking about Sxx and casting couch is considered a taboo. Now more and more heroines are coming out in open exposing the shocking dark secrets in the film and glamour professions. 

Right after Hollywood actresses came with shocking accusations against top producers, our own Bollywood and regional actresses claimed that many of the film makers tried to exploit them sxxually for film favors. 

This is making many wonder whether Tollywood Stars too are no saints and casting couch tremors will create tremors sooner and later. Way back in the 60s, in Pakudurallu novel from Jnanpeeth Awardee Ravuri Bharadwaj exposed how film stars, producers and directors played with heroine’s skin. During that time, rumors spread that the novel was based on real life of a star heroine. 

NTR's heroine Sonali Joshi in Subbu directed by Suresh Varma, Namitha who starred in Srinu Vytla’s Sontham, Malavika who romanced Rajendra Prasad in Apparao Driving School, Ankita who starred in Navadeep’s Manasu Maata Vinadu, Radhika Apte who romanced Balakrishna in Legend and Lion have confessed about casting couch in Tollywood. 

But Tollywood tried to hide under the carpet. Many say Tollywood biggies instead of trying to hide the real issue should address the problem rather than saving the culprits. Truth is, from star heroes to top producers and directors of all ages… everyone is indulged in Sxx ploitations.
