Director Ashwin Saravanan made heads turn in his debut film in 2015, Maya, starring Nayanthara, which fetched him critical acclaim, with the venture turning out to be a commercial success as well. He then followed it up with the muli-lingual thriller, Game Over, last year, starring Taapsee Pannu, which once again turned out to earn him appreciation from critics and fans alike, with the film becoming a super-hit at the box office. Having said that, Ashwin Saravanan has now exposed a fake casting call on Instagram.

Taking to his Twitter page, Ashwin Saravanan attached screenshots of the casting call including exposing the team, who were also making sexual advances at aspiring actors. In a series of tweets, the Game over director shared a conversation between the fake casting agency and an actor and wrote, "#castingcouch #castingscam (1/3) An IG page by the name of AAA Fel!s Creations have been putting out fake casting calls to a few respected actors in the industry. They have been using my name to basically pitch a project that doesn't exist to make advances of sexual nature." He then said, "2/3) I received the following screenshots today. This makes me both sad and livid that a few lowlives like these ruin it for each and every woman who aspires to be a someone in the industry. I intend to pursue this legally." He concluded, "(3/3) I really hope and wish the industry becomes a better place for both men and women. Please be on the look out for such fake casting calls. Always double-check with reliable sources and never encourage private conversations with the same. Stay safe. Inside and out."
