The helicity modification of light polarization which is induced by the
gravitational deflection from a classical heavy rotating body, like a star or a
planet, is considered. The expression of the helicity asymmetry is derived;
this asymmetry signals the gravitationally induced spin transfer from the
rotating body to the scattered photons.
