In the prior hearing on December 11, Justice Kumar commented that it seemed evident at first glance that Trisha was the party who had been wronged. The court further noted that it should have been her who initiated the legal action by approaching the court. Mansoor recently petitioned the high court, seeking approval to file a civil defamation lawsuit against Trisha, Chiranjeevi, and Kushboo. He alleged that they misconstrued a joke he made and presented it out of context, resulting in defamatory remarks against him on various social media platforms.


During a promotional press event for his film Leo, Mansoor made derogatory remarks about Trisha, sparking criticism from Chiranjeevi, Khushbu, Trisha, and the Leo movie team on various platforms. In response to Mansoor's comments, Trisha took to social media to express her disapproval, stating, "I recently came across a video where Mr. Mansoor Ali Khan made vile and disrespectful comments about me. I vehemently denounce his sexist, disrespectful, and repugnant behavior. I am thankful to have never worked alongside someone as pathetic as him, and I will ensure it remains so throughout my entire film career. Individuals like him tarnish humanity's reputation."
