In a recent development, a Tamil Nadu court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of actor Mansoor Ali Khan, who faced legal action for making sexist comments about his co-star Trisha Krishnan. The bail application was dismissed due to errors in Khan’s petition, prompting the Thousand Island All Women police station in Chennai to issue a summons for his appearance on November 23. Despite initial speculation about Khan evading the summons, he ultimately presented himself before the police.
Mansoor Ali Khan, recognized for his role in the Thalapathy Vijay starrer ‘Leo,’ came under fire for his derogatory comments directed at Trisha Krishnan. His remarks expressed dissatisfaction about not sharing scenes with Trisha in the film, accompanied by inappropriate comments about expecting an intimate bedroom scene with her.
Trisha Krishnan, responding to Mansoor Ali Khan’s remarks, condemned them as “misogynistic” and vowed never to share the screen with him again.
The court’s rejection of Khan’s anticipatory bail centered on errors in the petition, with the actor receiving a reprimand for allegedly wasting the court’s time. Despite initial reluctance, Khan eventually appeared before the Chennai police station. His comments triggered widespread criticism from notable figures in the industry, including Trisha, Chiranjeevi, and Lokesh Kanagaraj.
The controversy surrounding Khan’s comments has brought attention to broader concerns about the safety and dignity of women in the Tamil cinema industry. Despite facing backlash and calls for an apology, Mansoor Ali Khan remains unapologetic and steadfast in defending his statements.
