Tamannaah Bhatia is not happy with the director of her latest movie “Kaththi Sandai” and just to inform you, the movie’s slow opening at the box-office has got nothing to do with it. She is angry with director Suraaj because of his sexist remarks that he has made for the actresses.
Recently during an interview, Suraaj said that heroines in the films are for wearing scanty clothes. Here’s what he said,
“If the costume designer comes to me with the heroine’s clothes covering up to the knee, I would strictly order them to shorten the length. I don’t mind even if my heroine is not happy or comfortable, but I insist and get it done. This is because audiences pay money to see the heroines in such clothes.”
He didn’t stop at that and further explained what he wanted to say,
“Let heroines show their acting abilities in television serials. When it comes to commercial films, they are paid only to provide the required sizzle to the money paying audiences.”
Tamannaah got so upset with this comment that she took to Twitter to express her anger and demanded an apology:

Tamannaah slammed Suraaj as she expressed her displeasure in the post,
“This is 2016 and it’s 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.”
Nayanthara, another South Indian actress, has also criticized the director for making such nasty comments.
