Tamil television actor Manya Anand has come forward with a shocking claim, alleging that Dhanush's manager, Sreyas, attempted to exploit her through the casting couch. According to Anand, Sreyas reached out to her with details of a new film, but made an inappropriate suggestion, implying a quid pro quo that crossed professional boundaries. Anand recalled the manager's response to her refusal: "You will not comply even if it's Dhanush sir?" Despite her clear rejection, Sreyas continued to contact her multiple times, even sending her the location details of Dhanush's production house, Wunderbar Films, along with a script for the project. Anand confirmed that she did not read the script and had no intention of working on the film. This incident is not an isolated case, as Anand revealed that another manager had approached her with a similar request for the same project. She emphasized that this recurring issue in Tamil cinema highlights the need for industry change, where performers should not be coerced or pressured into compromising situations under the guise of professional opportunities. As a prominent Tamil television actress, Anand has used her platform to speak openly about industry misconduct, particularly the challenges faced by young women in navigating career opportunities. By sharing her experience, Anand hopes to raise awareness about predatory practices and encourage systemic change within the entertainment industry.
