Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma says aspiring actress Sri Reddy has become a “national celebrity” after resorting to a strip protest in Hyderabad.

She protested against casting couch and caused a stir by sitting semi-naked on the road in front of the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce on Saturday.

On this, RGV tweeted: “Sri Reddy has become a national celebrity… People in Mumbai, who don’t even know Pawan Kalyan, are talking about Sri Reddy.”
