Commenting on Ranveer¡¯s naked photoshoot and how the protests represent society's backward thinking, popular filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri expressed that there¡¯s nothing wrong with Ranveer Singh's photoshoot.

¡°It is a very stupid FIR. This is such an amusing case which is getting the attention without any reason. It is written in the FIR that the sentiment of women is being hurt. Now tell me, when there are so many nude pictures of women, does it hurt the sentiments of men?¡± Agnihotri said while speaking to Aaj Tak.

He further said that what's written in the FIR doesn't make sense and is entirely stupid.

¡°This is such a stupid argument. The human body has always been appreciated in our culture. I would say that the human body is the most beautiful creation of God. What¡¯s wrong with that? I do not like such things. It shows very conservative thinking which I do not support,¡± the Bollywood filmmaker said.
