Sooryavanshi director Rohit Shetty recently made a comment on film's lead actress Katrina Kaif and said no one will look at her on screen when actors Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh will be together. As expected, the statement did not go down well with Katrina's fans, who trended 'Shame on You Rohit Shetty' on social media.
For the unversed, in an interview for Sooryavanshi, Rohit was recently asked "Which actor does he focus on while looking at the monitor?", to which he quipped, "You have to watch the take thrice. The scene with the blast has Katrina (Kaif) too. If you look closely, she is blinking (during it). After the fourth take, she came to me and asked: Can we take one more? And I said, ‘Katrina, I will tell you honestly, no one is going to look at you.’ She got so wild. She said, ‘how could you tell me this?’ and I said: Three guys are walking with blasts happening behind, nobody will notice you. And I kept that shot. In the promo, she blinks while walking. But kaun dekhega?"
The comment irked Katrina's fans who trolled Rohit for his comment on Katrina. Check out few responses here:

Rohit Shetty is the classic example of a sexist mysoginist man who would never let a woman succeed even when she wants to do better at work. She’s the most hardworking self made women in the industry and deserves utmost respect ! #SHAMEONYOUROHITSHETTY pic.twitter.com/P61O3JwuiQ
