With Trisha lashing out at the actor over his crass comment, the issue has now snowballed into a huge controversy

Mansoor Ali Khan says he won't apologise
Speaking to the media at a press conference today, the actor said that he didn't say anything wrong and that there was no need to apologise. "Why should I apologise? I am part of the industry. What is a rape scene in cinema? Does that happen for real? Even murder scenes are now played by the heroes themselves. When Kamal Haasan sir or Suriya commits a murder everyone applauds. Again, rape scenes in cinema are not real. Doesn't the Nadigar Sangam know about this?"

"They should send a notice and ask for an explanation. Can Nadigar Sangam do this? I will give four hours to Nadigar Sangam. They should rescind the statement sent yesterday. Nadigar Sangam has committed a Himalayan blunder. They have asked me to apologise. I am not someone who asks for an apology. "

He added, "I called Nasser (president) and Vishal (Secretary). Both didn't pick up their phones. When I called Karthi (treasurer), he asked me to talk to Poochi Murugan, but he was not answering either. Do I look like an unclaimed dead body? I am getting ready for a political battle. I am being very patient. If I burst out, no one will be able to withstand my fury." He added that the entire Tamil Nadu was behind him and that they knew the truth.
