After Sajid Khan was dropped from the film, Nana Patekar too stepped out of the film as a harassment case has been filed against him by actress Tanushree Dutta. Announcing Nana’s exit from the film, his son Malhar told ANI, “Nana saheb thought of the convenience of everybody as he wishes the best for the producer & the crew & hence felt that stepping out of the project would be an appropriate thing to do at this point of time.”

Now it has to be seen when the shooting of this film will resume, as Akshay Kumar has requested the producers to cancel the shoot until further investigations.
