I am not desperate for cheap publicity, says Madhura Sreedhar

Producer-director Madhura Sreedhar is in the news for all wrong reasons these days. As the pre-look of next production ‘Fashion Designer: s/o Ladies Tailor’ drew flak from actresses Laxmi Manchu and Rakul Preet Singh as former branded it as ‘objectifying woman’ and latter supported it few days ago. “They have got it entirely wrong and I have no plans to run a debate with them on this issue.

In fact, I apologised to Laxmi Manchu on the same day of her tweet to nip the controversy in the bud,” he adds. However, he claims that fashion designer taking measurements of his client is not unusual or sleazy. “It’s part of his every day work but a small shot is blown out of proportions.

I can also name many Telugu films which depicted women in more demeaning and obscene manner,” he points out. Describing the original film ‘Ladies Tailor’ helmed by seasoned director Vamsi as bold and ahead of its times. “It’s sequel will be sensuous and not raunchy,” he concludes.
