The recently released trailer for Masti 4 has ignited significant online debate, prompting director Milap Zaveri to mount a vigorous defense of his adult comedy film against mounting criticism from social media trolls.
Director's Strong Response to Online Backlash
In an exclusive statement, Zaveri addressed the controversy head-on, emphasizing that his film represents a specific genre of entertainment that has its rightful place in Bollywood. "Every film has its own audience," the director asserted, drawing parallels to diverse culinary preferences to illustrate his point about varied cinematic tastes.
Women's Empowerment Angle Highlighted
Contrary to what critics might assume, Zaveri revealed that female characters play pivotal, strong roles throughout Masti 4. The director specifically highlighted how the women in the film consistently outsmart the male characters, turning traditional gender dynamics on their head.
"The women are definitely the heroes of my film," Zaveri declared, pointing to scenes where female characters demonstrate superior intelligence and strategic thinking compared to their male counterparts.
Genre Defense and Creative Freedom
The director stood firm on his creative choices, reminding audiences that adult comedy has been a legitimate Bollywood genre for decades. He referenced classic films that successfully blended humor with adult themes while maintaining entertainment value.
Zaveri's defense comes at a time when Bollywood is experiencing evolving audience preferences and increasing scrutiny of content across social media platforms.
Upcoming Projects and Future Directions
Beyond the Masti franchise, Zaveri is simultaneously working on Vivah 2, showcasing his versatility as a filmmaker capable of handling dramatically different genres. This contrast between his projects underscores his belief in catering to diverse audience preferences without creative constraints.
The director concluded by reaffirming his commitment to making films that entertain while respecting audience intelligence, regardless of the genre he chooses to explore.
