Setting the record straight, Hussain said that he never commented against the director and that he would continue to criticise misogyny and violence in movies. Challenging Vanga's claim, he told India Today NE, "How do I respond to that? Is Ang Lee less famous than him? Is Mira Nair less famous? Ang Lee was an Oscar-winner before Life of Pi". For the unversed, Adil has worked with both the filmmakers he mentioned.
