Trisha, Leo Director Slam Mansoor Ali Khan's Sexist Remark

Actress Trisha who is back in the reckoning with hits like ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ and “Leo’ slammed her 'Leo' co-star Mansoor Ali Khan for his derogatory comments about her. Trisha was seen delivering a powerful performance in 'Leo' but did not share the screen with Mansoor. However, in a recent interview, Mansoor remarked about missing the opportunity to share a ‘bedroom scene’ with her, adding that he has done his share of ‘rape scenes’. The comment drew strong criticism from Trisha and the film's director, Lokesh Kanagaraj.

In a recent interaction with the media, Mansoor Ali Khan, who was a part of 'Leo', made a repulsive remark about Trisha. During the interaction, Khan spoke about the film and not getting a chance to share the screen with her. After the video went viral, Trisha called out the actor and strongly condemned what Mansoor said. She took to X and wrote, "A recent video has come to my notice where Mr. Mansoor Ali Khan has spoken about me in a vile and disgusting manner. I strongly condemn this and find it sexist, disrespectful, misogynistic, repulsive and in bad taste. He can keep wishing but I am grateful never to have shared screen space with someone as pathetic as him and I will make sure it never happens for the rest of my film career as well. People like him bring a bad name to mankind (sic).”

Trisha is looking to make a comeback into Tollywood with a film opposite megastar Chiranjeevi which is kept on hold for now. The actress has many hits in Telugu like ‘Varsham’ and ‘Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule.
