Malayalam actress Parvathy also admitted this fact in a recent statement. The actress who made her Bollywood debut alongside Irrfan Khan in Qarib Qarib Single revealed how she was disappointed after watching Mammootty starrer Kasaba.

“I had watched a film recently, to my bad luck. With all respect to the makers, the film disappointed me, as it featured a great actor spitting totally misogynistic dialogues.
