Actor Kriti Sanon says when the #MeToo allegations surfaced against Housefull 4's former director Sajid Khan and her co-star Nana Patekar, the team took swift actions as they were focused about not letting it affect the final product. Sajid Khan stepped down from the project following multiple accusations of sexual misconduct against him. He was replaced by writer Farhad Samji as the director. Nana Patekar too, distanced himself from the comedy after being accused of harassment by actor Tanushree Dutta. He was replaced by actor Rana Daggubati.

5. Better to Be Conscious and Not React Immediately: Ajay Devgn
At a promotional event for his upcoming comedy Total Dhamaal, Ajay Devgn talked about celebrities’ remarks about the Pulwama attack getting harsh reactions. Ajay had recently announced that Total Dhamaal will not be releasing in Pakistan in the aftermath of the attacks.
In New Delhi promoting his latest film, Ajay spoke about the sensitivity of the current situation in the country and the importance of being careful on social media.“In such a crucial situation, it is better if we become conscious while choosing our words because people are angry and you never know how someone at the opposite end interprets your message or post. One can be misinterpreted anytime and then you can’t sit down and explain to people that what were your real intentions. It’s better if we all become little conscious and don’t react to things immediately. Think twice before writing anything on social media to avoid hurting someone’s sentiments,” he said.
