Senior Tamil actor Mansoor Ali Khan is receiving immense backlash for his sexist and misogynistic comments on star heroine Trisha. In a latest interview, Mansoor said that he was disappointed for not getting a chance to do rape scenes with Trisha in Vijay’s recent blockbuster, Leo. Apart from thousands of netizens and film personalities, even Trisha took to X last night and condemned Mansoor’s vulgar comments.

Soon after Trisha’s tweet, Leo director Lokesh Kanagaraj also tweeted out his angst over Mansoor’s comments. “Disheartened and enraged to hear the misogynistic comments made by Mr.Mansoor Ali Khan, given that we all worked in the same team. Respect for women, fellow artists and professionals should be a non-negotiable in any industry and I absolutely condemn this behaviour (sic),” Lokesh tweeted.

Initially, Lokesh was targeted by a section of netizens for hiring an insensitive actor like Mansoor in a high-profile project like Leo. However, soon after his tweet condemning Mansoor’s comments, Lokesh was flooded with thank you messages from Trisha’s fans.
