The Sarkar director posted the apology on Twitter saying: "My sincere apologies once again to Pawan Kalyan and all his fans and also his family members." On Wednesday, Ram Gopal Varma posted a video on YouTube, in which he confessed that he "influenced Sri Reddy" and encouraged her to abuse Pawan Kalyan for saying that she should have gone to the police, not the media, with allegations of casting couch. "It is not her fault," RGV said in the video. Sri Reddy also posted an apology on Twitter: "I apologise to Pawan Kalyan's mother. I didn't do it deliberately, but what I did was wrong, therefore asking for an apology."

This is Ram Gopal Varma's "confession" (in Telugu):



At a recent event, Pawan Kalyan said that Sri Reddy should have approached the police about her allegations of casting couch and being exploited by filmmaker Suresh Babu's son Abhiram Daggubati instead of going to the media. After Pawan Kalyan's statement, Sri Reddy lashed out at the Annavaram actor, at the instigation of Ram Gopal Varma, as he says now. Ms Reddy was also trolled by Pawan Kalyan's fans. Later, she agreed to take Pawan Kalyan's advice and said she would go to the police. Here's what she said on Facebook:



Sri Reddy featured in headlines after she stripped in front of a Telugu film chamber to protest against the casting couch. On April 8, she was booked under Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code for obscene act in public. Hyderabad's Movie Artistes Association has also revoked Sri Reddy's application for membership.
