Controversies

In October 2018, in the wake of the ongoing Me Too movement in India, director Sajid Khan was accused by actresses Saloni Chopra, Rachel White and journalist Karishma Upadhyay of sexual assault and misconduct.[9] Following the accusations, Khan tweeted that he would step down as director, while lead actor Akshay Kumar tweeted that he was cancelling shooting for the film and that he would not work with the accused until the investigation was complete.[10] Later on, Nana Patekar too left the production in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment by Tanushree Dutta.[11]

Farhad Samji has replaced Sajid Khan as the director.[12]
