It
was
reported
that
Katrina
Kaif
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
will
be
coming
together
to
star
in
Vikas
Bahl's
slice-of-life
comedy
film.
Many
criticized
Kat
for
agreeing
to
do
a
movie
with
Vikas.
Who
has
been
accused
in
the
MeToo
Movement.
However,
the
actress
has
denied
these
reports.
On
March
23,
Mumbai
Mirror
reported
that
Katrina
has
said
yes
to
the
movie
which
has
tentatively
been
titled
Deadly,
when
Vikas
offered
it
to
her.
The
report
stated
that
she
is
curious
to
experiment
with
new
roles,
and
she
would
be
playing
the
role
of
a
woman
on
her
journey
of
self-discovery,
with
Big
B
playing
her
father.
Netizens
began
to
slam
Katrina
for
agreeing
to
work
with
Vikas,
who
was
accused
of
inappropriate
behaviour
by
a
former
employee
of
Phantom
Films,
a
production
company
which
is
now
defunct.
One
of
those
who
was
critical
of
Katrina
was
a
HuffPost
journalist
named
Ankur
Pathak,
who
tweeted,
"Gentle
reminder
that
Vikas
Bahl
-
who
according
to
a
Mirror
report
is
doing
a
film
with
Katrina
and
Bachchan
next
-
sexually
assaulted
a
young
woman
at
a
Bombay
Velvet
party
in
Goa.
I
hope
Katrina
thinks
through
this
*very*
troubling
decision
of
hers,"
(sic).
He
later
updated
his
tweet
and
informed
that
Katrina
had
denied
the
report.
He
wrote,
"UPDATE:
heard
back
from
Katrina
Kaif,
who
said
that
the
Mumbai
Mirror
report
-
of
her
doing
a
film
titled
'Deadly'
with
Vikas
Bahl
-
is
untrue,"
(sic).
After
Bharat,
Katrina
will
next
be
seen
in
Rohit
Shetty's
cop
drama
Sooryavanshi,
starring
opposite
Akshay
Kumar.
The
film
was
scheduled
for
release
on
March
27,
but
due
to
the
outbreak
of
Novel
Coronavirus
(COVID-19),
it
has
been
postponed
indefinitely.
