Earlier, Khushbu Sundar, an actor, BJP MP, and member of the National Commission for Women, had pledged to take action against Mansoor. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), she wrote, "As a member of NCW, I have already raised the matter of Mansoor Ali Khan with my seniors and will be taking appropriate action.

In response to this, Mansoor held a press conference on Tuesday, where he remained steadfast and refused to apologize for his statement. He stated, "I did not mean it personally. If there is a rape or murder scene in a film, is it real? Does it imply actual rape? What does a murder in a film signify? Does it mean they are really killing someone? Why should I apologize? I did not say anything wrong. I hold all actresses in high regard."

However, the legal consequences appear to have softened Mansoor, who has now offered an apology in Tamil. For the unversed, Mansoor courted controversy after expressing his disappointment about not having a bedroom scene with Trisha in Leo during the Kashmir shoot. Many people, including members of the Tamil film industry, such as Leo director Lokesh Kanagaraj, Chiranjeevi, Nithiin, and Chinmayi Sripada and others, criticized the actor for his offensive remarks.
