After backlash over Masti 4 trailer, Milap Zaveri defends sex comedy: ‘Women have a very strong role and POV’ | Bollywood News

Filmmaker Milap Zaveri riding high on the success of his recent film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, on Tuesday released the trailer of his upcoming film Masti 4. The latest installment in the sex-comedy franchise stars Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, and Aftab Shivdasani. As expected, the trailer has received a mixed-to-negative response online, with netizens criticizing its apparent misogyny and what many have called regressive adult-humor. In response, Milap took to X to defend the film.
One female user wrote: “How do they face the females in their house after doing such films, you will never know. If DISGUST was a genre, this trailer is the topper. Full confidence in our janta to watch & have no issues with the content. Arey it’s just ‘fun’ yaar.” Milap replied: “Mam pls do see the film. You may be pleasantly surprised. Women have a v strong role and POV.”

Another user commented: “What an awful trailer. Waste of resources. Everything is pointless if the entertainment is missing.” To this, Milap responded: “Bhai you didn’t like Deewaniyat also. Touchwood hoping the audience again has a different taste.”

Bhai you didn’t like Deewaniyat also. Touchwood hoping the audience again has a different taste. ❤️🙏

One particularly critical voice wrote: “Hey @MassZaveri, have to be honest – #Mastiii4Trailer didn’t work for me! It feels like the #Masti series has moved away from the genuine charm of the first installment with so much forced vulgarity & skin show! This might be the first film of yours I’ll skip!” Milap replied graciously: “No worries bhai. You have the right to see what u like. Hope audiences love it.”

Even when a user remarked: “It’s 2025, and they are still making Masti 4, I have no words to describe this trailer,” Milap clapped back with humor and optimism: “Hopefully, superhit will be the word post-release, my friend.”

Hopefully Superhit will be the word post release my friend 🤞🙏❤️ https://t.co/F6SnyX4KYr
