Anupama Parameswaran skips Tillu Square event due to online backlash
Anupama Parameswaran recently skipped Tillu Square’s pre-release event. The actress’s absence was noticed by all and they questioned the team about the same. Siddhu Jonnalagadda revealed the reason behind it and defended his co-star against the online trolls she has been facing.
As per Hindustan Times, Siddhu Jonnalagadda threw light on how Anupama Parameswaran has been upset with the backlash. He said, “People have talked a lot about the film’s posters. I understand we are actors and a lot of things are said about us. But having said that, I feel that when we talk about women, we need to be careful.”
Emphasizing how people should treat women with more sensitivity, he said, “Even in real life, if you talk or flirt with a woman, she should be comfortable with it, right? The same goes for actors, it’s quite sensitive. So, let’s maintain a healthy atmosphere.”
Moreover, Jonnalagadda added how Anupama’s mood was spoiled and she was upset with the hate. He said, “I told her it’s okay if she doesn’t come to the event because her feelings are important.”
Tillu Square will hit the theaters on March 29, 2024.
