Ektaa Kapoor makes brief comeback on X; hits out at trolls questioning 'Thank You For Coming'

Producer Ektaa Kapoor made a brief comeback on X on October 9 and reacted to trolls questioning her latest release, ‘Thank You For Coming.’

The adult comedy, which stars Bhumi Pednekar, Shehnaaz Gill, Dolly Singh, and Kusha Kapila, is about a single woman in her 30s, and her quest for true love and pleasure.

Ever since the film’s release, the makers have been subjected to trolls.

Many have questioned the story and the intention behind the film.

Taking to Twitter, Ektaa wrote, ‘#ThankYouForComimg is a little mad movie made by mad crazy partner Rhea that doesn’t smash patriarchy but tickles with feathers under its nose so all the bulls hit gets sneezed out !! There is only mad love for the film or unpalpable anger !!! (sic)’

In another post, the producer-filmmaker added, ‘N me with my thrill issues wud want it no other way !!! From being trolled for ruining culture because it ‘ promotes ‘self-pleasure ( how that is ruining anything if ur keeping ur hands to yourself) to being applauded by Indian and international press … (sic).’

Ektaa also replied to a few social media users who tagged her for spoiling the mindset of people.

A user wrote, ‘Aap or Karan Johar ne pure india ko bigada’, to which she replied and wrote, ‘Hmmmmmm!!!’

‘Thank You For Coming’ was released in theatres on October 6. It clashed at the box office with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue’.

The film managed to collect Rs 1.06 crore nett on its opening day despite getting fewer screens and having an ‘A’ certificate. The film’s total collection now stands at Rs 4.22 crore nett.

‘Thank You For Coming’ has been directed by Karan Boolani, who has taken inspiration from several stand-ups on female sexuality to weave a sex comedy, about women.
