‘Masti 4’ trailer: Milap Zaveri defends his adult-comedy against trolls, ‘Women have a very strong role’

Director Milap Zaveri has found himself at the centre of an online storm soon after releasing the trailer of his upcoming film Masti 4, the latest instalment in the hit adult-comedy franchise starring Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, and

Aftab Shivdasani

.Known for his commercial entertainers, Zaveri is currently enjoying the success of his romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, featuring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. However, Masti 4’s trailer seems to have divided audiences, with several social media users criticising its tone and calling it outdated and misogynistic.

Milap Zaveri’s calm but firm response

When one X user slammed the trailer saying, “What an awful trailer. Waste of resources.

Everything is pointless if the entertainment is missing,” Milap Zaveri responded without losing his composure. “Bhai, you didn’t like Deewaniyat also. Touchwood, hoping the audience again has a different taste,” he wrote, taking the criticism in stride while standing by his work.

‘Women have a very strong role and POV’

The backlash intensified when another user, a woman, questioned the film’s premise, commenting, “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.”Responding to her concerns, Milap Zaveri wrote, “Ma’am, please do see the film. You may be pleasantly surprised. Women have a very strong role and POV.”His reply hinted that 'Masti 4' may go beyond the surface-level humour typical of the franchise and offer a perspective that gives more importance to its female characters than the trailer suggests.The movie stars Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, and Aftab Shivdasani in lead roles.
