Veteran Tamil actor Radha Ravi is yet again in the news! This time for slamming and shaming lady superstar Nayanthara. It so happened that a press meet of Nayanthara-starrer Kolayuthir Kaalam, he spoke about the actress not attending promotional events which she never does. He even gave out some derogatory comments about Nayanthara by talking about giving her movies despite several reports being written against her. Ravi spoke about giving her a chance of playing Goddess Sita on the big screen.
As per reports in India Today, he stated, "Nayanthara is a star now and she's hailed as Lady Superstar. Some even compared her to Puratchi Thalaivar MGR and Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan. They're immortals and it is disheartening to see people include Nayanthara in the list. I agree that Nayanthara is a good actress and she is sustaining in the industry for several years. There have been several reports about her, yet she stands tall. Tamil Nadu people remember anything only for four days, then they forget. Now, she is a known face. She can act as a ghost and as Goddess Sita as well. Back in those days, if filmmakers have a Goddess character in the film, they'd go for veteran actress KR Vijaya. But now, anybody can play the role. Paatha udane kumbudravangalayum podalam, paatha udane koopadravangalyum podalam (We can cast those who are respected and those who sleep around). Nayanthara, of late, acts in horror films. If the ghosts see her in person, they'll run away."

Nayanthara's boyfriend Vignesh Shivan and Chinmayi Sripaada took to their Twitter pages and slammed Radha Ravi for his distasteful comments. Take a look:
Clueless and helpless cos no one will support or do anything or take any action against that filthy piece of shit coming from a legendary family .. he keeps doing this to seek attention! Brainless !

Sad to see audience laughing& clapping for his filthy comments!
None of us
None of us had any idea that this event was going to take place for an incomplete film .. the actual producers or directors left the film few years back I guess! Inappropriate event wit unnecessary people sitting and knowing not what to speak ! If this is called promoting a movie

Then it’s good to stay away from such events which don’t have any need but jus to give opportunities like this for jobless people to vomit some senseless , useless stuff on stage !

Anyways no one from Nadigar sangam or any sangam will take any action against him #Sad #state
Ok.

So the Producer’s council and the Nadigar Sangam can’t take any action in my case because they cannot ‘interfere in the functioning of other unions’.
But This man is actually abusing a successful female actor on stage.
Do take action, if you could?
Mucccccchu thanksu. https://t.co/GXHhpZ8d85
Been waiting since yesterday for *some* sort of a condemnation from the male actor fraternity in Tamilnadu since yesterday.

Radha Ravi went on to mock #MeToo movement at the event stating, "I also advised Mathi (Kolayuthir Kaalam's producer and Radha Ravi's son-in-law) to get agreements from artists that they'll attend promotions. Also, another agreement that states that the hero will touch the heroine in any way during a flm's shooting and that the latter shouldn't make a big deal of it later."
We have to wait and see how Nayanthara reacts to it!
