Actor
Kriti
Sanon
says
when
the
#MeToo
allegations
surfaced
against
Houseful
4
director
Sajid
Khan
and
her
co-star
Nana
Patekar,
the
team
took
swift
actions
as
they
were
focused
on
not
letting
it
affect
the
final
product.
Sajid
stepped
down
from
the
project
following
multiple
sexual
misconduct
accusations
against
him.
He
was
replaced
by
writer
Farhad
Samji
as
the
director.
Nana,
too,
distanced
himself
from
the
comedy
after
being
accused
of
harassment
by
actor
Tanushree
Dutta.
He
was
replaced
by
actor
Rana
Daggubati.
"It
was
weird
to
be
on
set
with
all
that
going
on.
Someone
else
directing
us
suddenly
in
the
middle
of
the
film.
But
I
give
it
to
producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
sir,
he
took
certain
decisions
and
handled
it
very
well.
We
didn't
stop
shooting
for
more
than
two
days," Kriti
told
PTI.
The
actor
says
the
team,
including
actors
Akshay
Kumar,
Kriti
Kharbanda,
Bobby
Deol,
Ritiesh
Deshmukh
and
Pooja
Hegde,
were
focused
on
the
film
and
deliver
a
good
final
product.
"We
finished
our
schedule
a
day
before
we
were
supposed
to
finish.
That
way,
we
all
just
wanted
to
make
the
film
in
a
good
manner
and
make
sure
all
of
this
doesn't
affect
the
final
product.
A
film
once
made
is
out
forever.
We
were
together
in
it."
The
"Bareilly
Ki
Barfi"
star
says
some
of
the
highlight
sequences
of
the
film
were
shot
post
the
#MeToo
allegations
and
was
handled
very
well.
"We
shot
some
major
sequences
including
the
interval
and
the
climax
after
that.
These
sequences
are
usually
crazy
because
the
entire
star
cast
is
together.
Our
producer
took
the
call
of
spending
that
extra
money,
to
reshoot
scenes,
with
no
fault
of
his,"
she
added.
Kriti
will
be
next
seen
in
Luka
Chuppi
co-starring
Kartik
Aaryan.
The
film,
directed
by
Laxman
Utekar
and
written
by
Rohan
Shankar,
is
scheduled
to
release
on
March
1.
