Days before director Buchi Babu Sana publicly apologized for the criticism surrounding Peddi, Janhvi Kapoor had already been raising concerns behind the scenes, her fan clubs have claimed.
The actor's fan clubs have shared screengrabs of text messages, seemingly sent by the actor to them. They seem to suggest that Janhvi repeatedly objected to the way certain scenes featuring her character were being filmed.
The messages paint a picture of an actor who was aware of the issue long before audiences began calling it out online.
Janhvi says she objected to certain camera angles, including 'no b**b and waist shots.'
She further revealed that Ram Charan had also intervened on her behalf, yelling at the director to stop taking such angles.
The controversy surrounding Peddi has sparked a bigger conversation about the portrayal of women in South Indian cinema.
Janhvi appeared to address what she believed was a larger industry issue, saying 'it keeps happening in the south.'
The actor also hinted at the frustration she was experiencing while trying to communicate her concerns, saying 'you have no idea what I've been dealing with.'
