Moving ahead, this is not the first time Mansoor Ali Khan’s name has been mentioned in various controversies over the years. The actor has often found himself in trouble with his outrageous statements and comments on public platforms.
In a previous interview, Mansoor Ali Khan had levied comments against actress Trisha Krishnan which had created quite a stir amongst the people, leading to even celebrities calling him out.
In an interview, the actor said, “Filmmakers are not giving me villain roles anymore. They don't let me rape! I had intended to speak about this at Leo's success meet, but I did not as I felt some might turn it into a controversy.”
“I was very eager when I heard I'd be acting with Trisha Krishnan. I thought, there would definitely be a bedroom scene. Just like how I threw Kushboo and Roja on the bed, I can do it with her as well. In my 150 films, haven't I committed so many rapes and atrocities! I didn’t even see Trisha,” the actor added.
The sexist remarks by the actor were widely condemned by many including Trisha Krishnan herself who even filed a case against him in the Madras High Court for defamation.
