Actresses from other states who do Tamil movies have their caste name attached to their name. Already there have been protests to this. But those actresses did not take those protests seriously. Also, they demand that their caste name be displayed in advertisements which cast them.
Actresses as Navya Nair, Meghna Naidu, have their caste name attached to their name. Currently, actresses as Sameera Reddy, Lakshmi Menon, Sanjana Singh have their cast name attached to their name.
Lakshmi Menon does movies as Kumki and Sundarapandiyan. Janani Iyer does Srikanth’s pair in movie ‘Pagan’. Director Karu Pazhaniyappan who spoke during audio launch for movie ‘Pagan’, condemned using caste names.
‘Heroine for this movie has name Janani Iyer. I am against actresses using their caste to identify themselves. Actresses should not attach caste name to their names’ said director Pazhaniappan.
