The arrest of actress Bhuvaneshwari, charged with involving in flesh trade, has created a ruckus in the film industry. The news published by a Tamil daily that Bhuvaneshwari had complained to the police about not arresting other big time actresses that are actively involved in flesh trade while targeting her has shocked the film fraternity. The issue took a turn for the worse when the Tamil daily published the photos of several actresses claiming them to be involved in flesh trade as well.

The meeting convened by the Nadigar Sangam to condemn the newspaper that published derogatory remarks about certain actresses in Kollywood along with their photos took place in Chennai yesterday (October 7th, 2009). This meeting was well-attended by several biggies in the film industry including Rajinikanth, the Nadigar Sangam President Sarath Kumar, Vijayakanth, Radha Ravi, Sathyaraj, Suriya, Vijayakumar, Arun Vijay, Manjula, Nalini, Seetha, Kuyili, Radhika Sarath Kumar, Revathy, Rohini and others.

Speaking at the event, Rajini said that he would remain silent when he is very angry and talk more when he is happy. Though this situation has made him really angry, he said that he wished to register his thoughts and hence spoke out. The Superstar requested the press not to publish the photos of those who are involved in prostitution as most of them are in a pitiable state and do it for the sake of money.

Sarath Kumar said that the members of Nadigar Sangam will not participate in events that involve the concerned newspaper. A resolution to this effect was also passed in the meeting.

While Revathy stressed for the need for a legal wing in the Nadigar Sangam, Suriya backed it by extending financial support for it.
