New reports cite Bill Murray as the cause behind the production suspension of Aziz Ansari's film 'Being Mortal.'
As previously reported, Aziz Ansari’s Being Mortal has suspended its production. This was due to a complaint filed during shooting, and it came to light when filming was halted for three days starting on Monday. This was before Searchlight Pictures sent out a letter to the film's cast and crew on Wednesday making them aware of the situation. While at the time it was unknown who the complaint was filed against, now that has been revealed.
There are no specifics on the severity of the complaint and Searchlight has yet to comment on the investigation. In the letter sent out to the crew, it stated that, “Late last week, we were made aware of a complaint, and we immediately looked into it. After reviewing the circumstances, it has been decided that production cannot continue at this time.” There is also no word whether they will recast Murray.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Along with Murray, the film was set to star Ansari and Seth Rogen. Being Mortal was supposed to be Ansari’s comeback into the spotlight after his own sexual assault allegations halted his career back in 2018. There was some assumption, given Ansari’s past allegations, that this might have to do with the actor. However, Deadline reassures that this complaint does not involve the Parks and Recreation star.
