In the vibrant world of South Indian cinema, where talent and stardom often converge, a recent controversy has cast a shadow over the success of the film "Leo." Starring Thalapathy Vijay and the prominent actress Trisha Krishnan, the movie had become a major sensation at the box office. However, the film's success took an unexpected turn when Mansoor Ali Khan, portraying a negative character in the film, made controversial remarks about his co-star during a press conference.

At the center of the controversy are Mansoor Ali Khan's deeply objectionable comments about Trisha Krishnan.

Shockingly, he stated, "I had anticipated taking her (Trisha) to the bedroom, similar to what I've done with other actresses in films. I have enacted numerous rape scenes, and this is not a new experience for me. However, due to scheduling conflicts in Kashmir, I didn't get the opportunity to share screen time with Trisha."
