In a recent statement, the actor said, "It was important to give the brand creative freedom while designing their campaign, but I guess we got it wrong on one of those billboards and I'm sorry this happened but it's a thing of the past.. we rectified it immediately by having that hoarding taken down ASAP from everywhere over 30 cities overnight.
