Ananya Nagalla: Shocking Comments on Commitment in the Industry

Ananya Nagalla is one of the few Telugu actresses in Tollywood. She made her debut as a heroine with the movie “Mallesham” and has since been captivating Telugu audiences with her performances in a string of films, both as a main heroine and as a character artist. Her latest movie, “Pottel,” is set to release soon. In light of this, the makers held a trailer launch event, which Ananya attended. After the trailer launch, a press meet was held where Ananya faced an unexpected question, and her striking response has gone viral online.

What happened?

At the trailer launch event of her latest movie “Pottel” in Hyderabad, the trailer was released by the well-known actress Samyuktha Menon. During the subsequent press meet, a female reporter questioned Ananya about the casting couch. “They ask for commitment before giving a movie chance to a heroine or an artist, right? What do you say about this? Have you ever faced it?” Ananya responded, “How can you say for sure that they ask for commitment? There’s nothing like that.” The reporter continued, “But isn’t the commitment included in the signed agreement? That’s what your industry friends told me.” Ananya replied, “That’s 100% wrong. I have never faced such a thing. It doesn’t exist.”

You See Only the Negative: Ananya

Ananya remarked that just like in life, there are both negative and positive aspects in the industry. She criticized the reporter for focusing only on the negative, calling the notion that opportunities are given in exchange for commitments “bullshit.” The reporter added, “The industry people say there is one rate if you give a commitment, and another if you don’t.” Ananya responded, “You’re saying this without any experience, but I am speaking from experience. There is no such commitment here.” The video of this exchange is currently going viral online.

Producer of Mallesham Fires Back at Reporter

Netizens are upset over the manner in which the female reporter questioned Ananya. With the video going viral, “Mallesham” producer Venkat Sidda Reddy also responded, criticizing the reporter’s inappropriate question and posted a lengthy post about the precautions taken for Ananya’s safety during the shooting of “Mallesham.” He condemned the reporter’s actions, saying it was completely unnecessary in a movie promotion event and praised Ananya for her apt response. Ananya thanked Venkat Sidda Reddy for his support in this matter.
