Mastiii 4 Trailer Divides Fans: Director Zaveri Responds Calmly to Criticism

On November 4, 2025, the trailer for Mastiii 4, the latest installment of the cult comedy franchise, was released, and it immediately stirred mixed reactions across social media. While long-time fans of the series rejoiced at the reunion of lead actors Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani, others expressed discomfort over the film's bold, adult-themed humor.

The trailer, which marks the return of director Milap Milan Zaveri to the comedy space, faced sharp criticism from a section of netizens for its language and suggestive scenes. One journalist even called the trailer "ridiculous," quoting a dialogue to highlight what they felt was a lack of sensitivity.

Responding to the criticism, Zaveri took a measured and respectful approach. Replying directly to the journalist, he wrote, "Respect your opinion bhai. Hopefully audiences will enjoy it," indicating that he was unfazed by the negative comments and confident in the film's entertainment value.

Despite the online chatter, the makers of Mastiii 4 remain optimistic. Backed by Zee Studios and Waveband Production in association with Maruti International and Balaji Motion Pictures, the film is being pitched as the "biggest comedy entertainer of the year." Mastiii 4 is slated to hit theatres on November 21, 2025, promising four times the humour, chaos, and nostalgia that made the franchise a fan favourite.
