Renowned filmmaker Raghavendra Rao has come under criticism after footage from the launch event of Anil Ravipudi’s latest film showed him grabbing the arms of actresses Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty.

The incident has sparked a debate online regarding personal boundaries, consent, and professional etiquette at public events in the film industry.
Fans and social media users expressed mixed reactions, with many questioning whether such gestures are appropriate, while others defended it as a benign interaction typical in celebratory settings.
Both Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty were present at the event, which aimed to promote the upcoming film and highlight its cast and crew.
The discussion has reignited broader conversations about respecting personal space, especially for women in the entertainment industry, and the responsibility of senior figures to model appropriate behaviour at public functions.
Why This Matters
For Gen-Z audiences, public conduct in the film industry is increasingly scrutinized, reflecting changing cultural norms and expectations around consent, respect, and professional interaction.
