Actress Niti Taylor recently opened up about an alleged casting couch experience that left her so shocked that she decided to step away from the Telugu film industry. While Niti did not reveal the filmmaker’s identity, netizens on Reddit have been speculating that Telugu director Trinadha Rao Nakkina could be the person she was referring to.
The discussion began after videos from Niti’s recent interview with Hauterrfly surfaced online. Recalling the incident, the actress said that the director of her first Telugu film contacted her after they had finished working together and offered her another project. However, she alleged that the conversation took an uncomfortable turn when he asked her to sleep with him in exchange for the opportunity.
Who Is The Director Netizens Are Speculating About?
Although Niti did not name the director, several Reddit users began connecting the dots based on her account of her early career in Telugu cinema. Trinadha Rao Nakkina’s name has emerged in the online discussions because he directed her Telugu film debut, Mem Vayasuku Vacham, which was released in 2012.
The film, which also starred Tanish in the lead role, marked Niti’s entry into Telugu cinema. Since the actress said that the director of her first film later approached her with another offer, some social media users have speculated that Nakkina could be the filmmaker she was referring to.
However, it is important to note that this remains unverified online speculation. Niti has not publicly identified the director, and her comments do not establish that Trinadha Rao Nakkina was the person involved.

“The director who did the first film with me called me for another movie when we were done with it. Then he said, but you will have to sleep with me for it this time. You do not realise, you do not know how to react. I just cut the call, I blocked his number, I called up my mom, and I’m like, imagine that budda, old man,” Niti told Hauterrfly.
“I saw him with other chicks and stuff like that. I never knew when he would try this with me. That’s when I decided I will never do any movie ever again. I was just taken aback, and I only blocked him. I did not tell this to anyone because I was zapped. You just come like…” the actress added.
