The controversy around Mansoor Ali Khan's crass comments about acting with Trisha is not dying down as the former has now decided to file a defamation case against the Ponniyin Selvan actor. Though Mansoor apologised to Trisha a few days ago, the actor has now taken a U-turn in the issue. Speaking to News18, the actor said his lawyer will be disclosing all the details to the public at 4 pm on Tuesday. When asked what the defamation case is about and the reason behind it, Mansoor said, "I can't share the details now. My lawyers will disclose all of it today at 4 pm." About his apology to Trisha, the actor remarked, "It is a big joke and I will explain it all later." It was thought the issue was put to rest after Trisha accepted his apology by tweeting, "To err is human, to forgive is divine." However, with Mansoor Ali Khan's new decision, looks like the issue is going to go on for a while. To err is human, to forgive is divine🙏🏻 — Trish (@trishtrashers) November 24, 2023 Mansoor Ali Khan's controversial comments At a press meet for the promotion of his upcoming film Sarakku, Mansoor Ali Khan opened up about acting in Vijay's Leo, which had Trisha in an important role. Though Mansoor and Trisha were part of the film, they didn't share screen space. Speaking about the same, Mansoor, who has played many antagonist roles, said, "When I heard Trisha was in the film, I thought I would have a bedroom scene with her. I thought I would carry her to the bedroom like I have done with many actresses in my earlier movies. Rape scenes are not new to me. However, these guys didn't give me a glimpse of Trisha." The controversial statement led to severe backlash from actors including Chiranjeevi, Khushbu Sundar, Leo director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Nadigar Sangam, the film body for Tamil actors, issued a temporary ban on the actor and demanded an apology. National Commission for Women took suo moto cognizance of Mansoor's comments about Trisha. Mansoor Ali Khan's reaction to Chiranjeevi's tweet Telugu star Chiranjeevi came out in support of Trisha and tweeted, "My attention was drawn to some reprehensible comments made by actor Mansoor Ali Khan about Trisha. The comments are distasteful and disgusting not just for an artist but for any woman or girl. These comments must be condemned in the strongest words. They reek of perversion. I stand with Trisha and every woman who has to be subject to such horrid comments." Reacting to the same, Mansoor Ali Khan said, "Chiranjeevi garu is a big star. I have acted with him. He throws a party every year for his yesteryear heroines who acted with him. I have also acted with him, but he never invites me (laughs). He only invites them. It is his matter. But he is such a big actor, he could have called me and asked about my statement. He didn't." Mansoor Ali Khan was later questioned by Tamil Nadu police, after which the actor released an apology statement. Trisha is yet to react to Mansoor Ali Khan's new decision to sue her.
