During the trailer launch of Partner, Robo Shankar praised Hansika Motwani. He called her a “wax doll” and compared her with a “maida dough” that sticks on the wall. Things took a controversial turn when he detailed pleading with the actress to touch her legs, thighs, or toes for a scene.

Robo Shankar allegedly said, “For a scene to touch her legs and thighs, I begged her a lot, I fell on her feet too. I pleaded to just touch her toe at least. But she refused.”
He went on to say that only “heroes ” get such advantages, as he continued, “Only Aadhi can touch me and act. No one else should touch. Only then did I understand that a hero is a hero…”

Hansika Motwani, who was present at the Partner trailer launch, kept smiling, and Robo Shankar praised her. Little did she know she was being publicly sexualized due to the language barrier.
However, the journalist present at the event pointed out how absurd the statements made by Robo Shankar were and slammed him. However, he was not present on the stage, so Partner co-star John Vijay apologized on his behalf.
