Hyderabad : Sri Reddy, the Tamil actress who recently led the fight against sexual harassment in Tollywood, on Friday said that she too was approached by people involved in the high-profile sex racket busted by authorities in the United States. This revelation came after a Telugu couple was arrested in Chicago on charges of running the prostitution ring in Chicago. NRI businessman and film producer, Modugumudi Kishan, and his year-old wife Chandra were arrested and charge-sheeted. The couple reportedly lured actresses from the Telugu film industry to the US and advertised them for sex at Indian conferences and cultural events across the country. They have coordinators in Hyderabad. She also alleged that the industry people know about such practices, yet have been turning a blind eye to it. Giving an insight into the modus-operandi, Sri added: "They will arrange visa and everything else for you. She told News "Fact is that it is not new thing going in US. Mostly it is C or D-grade artists, who are not lead actors but do supporting roles in films… they fall into this trap. Galrani also said that people cajole new girls in the sex trade by pretending to be managers.

Jump to navigation. Controversies and the Telugu film industry seem to go hand in hand. A few weeks ago, actress Sri Reddy levelled charges against top Tollywood honchos of sexually abusing her. And now, a sex racket involving several Telugu actresses has been bust in Chicago, US. An Indian-origin couple was arrested in Chicago last week for running a sex racket in the country. The couple, Kishan Modugumudi and Chandra Kala Purnima Modigumudi, had been luring Tollywood actresses on the pretext of shows and then pushing them into prostitution. It is now revealed that the couple took six Indian actresses to the US. The actresses were first taken to Telugu conferences and other Indian meets held across the US to attract potential customers. Since the actress arrived two days after the said event and travelled to Chicago instead of California, authorities got suspicious and began inquiries. However, when investigators dug deeper, they found that the actress's statement was false and that the president of NATS denied inviting the actress to the country.
