Actor Sri Reddy in fresh allegations has named Tamil actor Vishal for threatening her over the sexual harassment claims she has made over a few months. 

In a Facebook post, Reddy wrote, "I am facing threat from Tamil actor Vishal reddy..but I wanted to reveal secrets of darkside Kollywood ..."

Actor Vishal, who is the general secretary of Nadigar Sangam and the president of Tamil Film Producer Council, is the fourth name Sri Reddy has openly talked about while alleging the exploitation claims. Previously, Reddy has named director Murugadoss, choreographer turned actor/director Raghava Lawrence and actor Srikanth.

According to a report in Indian Express Vishal had earlier said that Sri Reddy needs to provide evidence to support accusations than just naming anyone. He added that she is 'picking her targets randomly.' "For all we know, I might be the next one to be named by her,” he had said.

“You never know who will be named next. I seriously think such grave allegations must be substantiated with evidence. Our laws about sex crimes are lopsided. Any woman can make the allegation and the law will act on that allegation and give the accused a chance to defend himself only later. This is not right,” Vishal continued.

Raghava Lawrence also denied all the allegations made by the actress, he said, "I have been speaking to the media non-stop about this since she announced my name. I have not been a part of the Telugu industry for the past five years as I have been busy with my own films. She is using my name for publicity, nothing more. The sad thing is, it is distracting everybody from the real issues affecting our country."

Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan had suggested that instead of naming and shaming these actors, Sri Reddy should fight her case with the help of legal measures. The suggestion was met with abusive rant towards Pawan Kalyan's mother on national TV by the actress. Sri Reddy later apologised but it did not go well with the actor.
