Following Allegations Against Nana Patekar And Sajid Khan, Twinkle Khanna Shouts Out To Team Housefull 4; Akshay Kumar Cancels Shoot

Mrs Funnybones will not tolerate sexual offenders! Taking a strong stand against sexual harassment and violation, and diving into the #MeToo debate, Twinkle Khanna shared a strong Twitter post a few minutes back. She asked husband Akshay Kumar, the lead hero of the Housefull franchise, and rest of the team to take a firm stand.

Her statement comes in the wake of actress Tanushree Dutta and Assistant Director Saloni Chopra’s allegations against Housefull actor, Nana Patekar and director, Sajid Khan.

Twinkle’s full statement reads, “Appalled hearing multiple incidents of harassment and it is truly horrific to hear what these women have been through. Everyone involved in Housefull needs to take a firm stance on this issue. This cannot go on.”

And it seems Akshay has taken stock of the situation and made his stand clear. According to a report in Hindustan Times, Akshay has cancelled the shoot of Housefull 4. A source close to the movie told Hindustan Times, “Akshay is known to be a disciplinarian and has never cancelled a shoot in his 28 year- long career. This is the first time that he has decided to cancel a shoot, perhaps because the #metoo movement just cannot be ignored. The allegations made against Sajid Khan and Nana Patekar are both serious and grave in nature.”

Meanwhile, Akshay has also released a statement, just minutes back. It reads, “I’ve just landed in the country last night and reading all the news has been very disturbing. I’ve requested the producers of Housefull 4 to cancel the shoot until further investigation. This is something that requires stringent action. I will not work with any proven offenders and all those who have been subjugated to harassment should be heard and given the justice they deserve.” Also Read: "Sajid Khan Pulled His Pants Down And Showed Me His D**K": Alleges His Former Assistant Director Saloni Chopra
