‘Sooryavanshi’: Twitterati slams Rohit Shetty for his statement on Katrina Kaif; trolls say, “Shame on you”

Rohit Shetty is among those directors who give equal importance to a female actor no matter how many big male superstars are there in his movie. But his recent statement, a demeaning one for Katrina Kaif didn’t go well with netizens.

In an interview with Film Companion, Rohit Shetty was asked on which star he focuses on while looking at the monitor (The question was in reference to his upcoming movie ‘Sooryavanshi’). He then replied, “All three (Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh), obviously. You have to watch the take thrice. The scene with the blast has Katrina (Kaif) too. If you look closely, she is blinking (during it). After the fourth take, she came to me and asked: Can we take one more? And I said, ‘Katrina, I will tell you honestly, no one is going to look at you.’ She got so wild. She said, ‘how could you tell me this?’ and I said: Three guys are walking with blasts happening behind, nobody will notice you. And I kept that shot. In the promo, she blinks while walking. But kaun dekhega? (sic).”

Post this, Rohit was brutally slammed on social media. One user wrote “1st lead actor & now director of film demeaned katrina kaif with his derogatory remark. Today we all should talk abt equality & woman empowerment but as long as these misogynist utter such shit then there’s no point of women’s day.” While one wrote, “In all seriousness, his statement about #KatrinaKaif is really shameful & sexist! It shows what a big misogynist he is!”

Rohit shetty really got his karma for treating #AsimRiaz like shit & threatening him on National TV that he won’t get any work with his behaviour.
But in all seriousness, his statement about #KatrinaKaif is really shameful & sexist! It shows what a big misogynist he is!

Personally I don’t like Rohit Shetty. But his comment on Katrina made me even more angry. How dare him to say this “Nobody will look at you” I mean she is the only one during Sooryavanshi launch event who was trending on Top 2. Guys be ready for trend against him. #KatrinaKaif pic.twitter.com/3OhBAcQh57
