He concluded saying, “And for sure this honest act of @RanveerOfficial will inspire a lot of men and women to become more naked in their honest expressions of their own selves and will forward the society (sic).”

Earlier, the filmmaker also spoke exclusively to ETimes about the photoshoot. He shared, “Think it’s his way of demanding justice for gender equality. If women can show off their sexy bodies why can’t men? It’s hypocritical that men are judged by a different standard. Men should have as many equal rights as women.”

Meanwhile, Ranveer’s wife Deepika Padukone too reacted to the photoshoots. Reportedly, the actress was blown away by the pictures. Apparently she was in loop on this entire shoot from the very start and she absolutely loved the concept. Deepika had seen the images before they hit the internet. The source also affirmed that, “Deepika has always supported Ranveer and has been his biggest champion. So when it came to doing something totally different, she didn’t flinch”.
