Akshay’s wife Twinkle was first to ask the film’s cast to a “firm” stand on the allegations against the director.

Appalled hearing multiple incidents of harassment and it is truly horrific to hear what these women have been through. Everyone involved in Housefull needs to take a firm stance on this issue. This cannot go on.

Actor Nana Patekar , who has been accused by Tanushree Dutta of sexual misconduct on the sets of the film Horn Ok Pleassss in 2008, on Friday also dropped out of the film. “Nanasaheb do not want any inconvenience caused to anyone and hence in the backdrop of false accusations levelled against him he thought it fit to distance himself with the ongoing project of Housefull 4,” Malhar, son of Patekar, had said in a statement. Patekar has denied the allegations levelled by Dutta. Dutta’s revelations have sparked what media is terming as India’s #MeToo movement , where journalists, actors and professionals have taken to social media to talk about workplace harassment.
