Lokesh Kanagraj 'enraged' by 'Leo' actor Mansoor Ali Khan's comment about Trisha Krishnan

Director Lokesh Kanagraj, who helmed Thalapathy Vijay's 'Leo', broke his silence on actor Mansoor Ali Khan's comment on Trisha Krishnan. He took to social media to condemn Mansoor's remark and said he was enraged.

In a new social media post, Lokesh quoted Trisha's vow to never work with the actor again and insisted that respect for all fellow professionals should be non-negotiable in any industry. Lokesh wrote on X, "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."

An ANI report claimed that Mansoor said in a new interview that when he got to know he was working with Trisha in Leo, he thought that there would be "a bedroom scene in the film". "I thought that I could carry her to the bedroom just like I did with other actresses in my earlier movies. I have done so many rape scenes in a number of movies and it's not new to me.

In response to Mansoor's video, Trisha posted about the “vile and disgusting manner” in which Mansoor spoke about her in the interview. Condemnding it and calling it disrespectful, sexist, repulsive, misogynistic, and in bad taste, Trisha added, "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.”

'Leo' was released theatrically on October 19'
