Celebrating Shoojit Sircar’s feminist film Pink, actor Amitabh Bachchan tweeted out a photo to mark the occasion with the team. Except, the photo only had men in it. The actor’s photo even had the caption: “PINK…all in one frame”.

The actor drew flak for promoting the film with just the men in frame. However, this isn’t the first time the veteran actor displayed subtle misogyny. Last week, Bachchan said that he was happy that women are now working harder than men on set.
“A great delight to find so many women on set working harder than the men, in a job which one could never have dreamt about in our times,” he wrote in his blog while filming for Thugs Of Hindostan.
