Searchlight Pictures has suspended production on Aziz Ansari's directorial debut 'Being Mortal' following complaints about actor Bill Murray's inappropriate behaviour on set.
Deadline confirmed that the suspension of the production had to do with a complaint against Murray. Ansari, who is also starring, writing and directing alongside partner Youree Henley, was not part of the complaint nor was co-star Seth Rogen.바카라 웹사이트

Searchlight had sent a letter to the movie's cast and crew on Wednesday to inform them that the production was being suspended due to a complaint they had investigated. Searchlight did not specify who the complaint against was in the letter.
