Dhanush with Sreyas, Manya Anand
Television actor Manya Anand recently made some shocking revelations by publicly sharing her experience of being approached with inappropriate demands in exchange for work by Sreyas, who is believed to be actor Dhanush's manager. Manya claimed that Sreyas contacted her and other artists, inviting them to participate in a new film project linked to Dhanush. Meanwhile, he would allegedly make requests that she found objectionable.
Manya Anand accuses Dhanush's manager
In an interview with Cineulagam, Manya revealed that Sreyas reached out to her with details about a new film, suggesting participation and bringing up the subject of 'commitment.' She says Sreyas told her, "There is commitment (adjustment)." Challenging his demand, she questioned, "What commitment? Why should I give commitment?" The actress refused to comply with such requirements and expressed her lack of interest in the offer.
Manya recounted that after she refused, Sreyas pressed further, asking, "You will not comply even if it's Dhanush sir?" However, she maintained her stance, reiterating her boundaries and disapproval of the manager's approach. Following the incident, the actress revealed that Sreyas contacted her many more times, sending the location details of Dhanush's production house, Wunderbar Films. He even shared a script, despite her earlier refusal.
The television actress mentioned that another manager also approached her for the same film, but had a similar request, hinting at a pattern of such propositions within the industry. The actress highlighted that these contacts were persistent and occurred even after her explicitly rejecting the initial offer.
Manya about the industry
During the interview, she was also asked if she had reviewed the script sent by Sreyas, to which she replied, "No, I did not read it. I am not doing the film. We're artists. We are doing some other work. You take work from us but don't expect anything else in return. If we comply with your demands, then we'd be named something else. I think it'd be better if people recognised this pattern and sorted it out."
Manya Anand concluded her statements by urging industry professionals to recognise and address such recurring issues. She also expressed hope that greater awareness would lead to change.
