Director Ignites Dress Code Controversy
Tammareddy Bharadwaja’s Shocking Comments on Heroines’ Clothing! The Director Stirred Up a Storm!! The costume controversy has flared up again in Tollywood! This time, Tammareddy Bharadwaja has become a hot topic with his sensational remarks. His comments on heroines’ dressing are now going viral.
Bharadwaja recently offered his analysis on clothing, questioning whether it’s truly possible to act in today’s films while being fully covered. He noted the varied opinions in the debate: some advocate for ‘decent’ or ‘cultured’ clothes, reminiscing about heroines who once acted exclusively in sarees, while others firmly state, ‘my body, my choice’ when opting for revealing attire.
Tammareddy Bharadwaja’s strong reaction was particularly prompted by the recent controversy ignited by actor Shivaji’s comments on heroines’ clothing, which sparked a dispute between Shivaji and Anasuya. Speaking on the 10TV podcast, Tammareddy Bharadwaja stressed that everything depends on the film’s story.
Bharadwaja Blames Mindsets, Not Modern Fashion
He illustrated this by asking, “Even a girl who regularly does ‘skin show’ – if she’s portraying a sacred character or acting in a devotional film – how can she do it without wearing a saree?” He then addressed the evolving societal norms: “These are modern days. Girls walk around in shorts when they go out on the road. They wear such minimal clothes and go about their day. When we were young, people used to look at it strangely. Today, nobody even pays attention to it. It has become common.”
He strongly refuted the notion that modern attire is inherently provocative or linked to sexual assault, declaring, “It’s wrong for us to assume it’s ‘skin show’, isn’t it? If someone wears shorts, does that mean they will be raped? Can we (men) walk around in shorts? Why shouldn’t girls wear shorts then?” Bharadwaja criticized the unchanging mindset of some men, stating, “For generations, men have become accustomed to looking at things with a certain perspective. They haven’t changed even today.” He further challenged the premise by questioning, “If we believe that rapes happen only because of such clothing, then how are young children and 60-year-old women being raped?”
