Earlier, Trisha Krishnan had also slammed her 'Leo' co-star Mansoor Ali Khan for speaking about her in a "vile and disgusting manner."
"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," Trisha wrote on X.

Earlier, news agency ANI reported exactly what Mansoor Ali Khan had said at the event.
"When I heard that I was acting with Trisha, I thought 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. But these guys didn't even show Trisha to me on the sets during the Kashmir schedule."
For the unversed, 'Leo' stars Trisha, Vijay, Mansoor Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Sarja.
The new Tamil film had released in theatres on October 19, and the movie collected more than Rs 500 crore worldwide.
