At the same event, noted director Pa. Ranjith countered the producer's speech by saying "We have to accept the fact that sexual exploitation is a problem that is still plaguing the film industry. When it comes to the statements put forth by Sri Reddy or any other woman in the industry, we should not look at them as mere accusations, rather these statements must be treated seriously with thorough investigation."
