After Aamir Khan skipped out on Mogul, producer drops Subhash Kapoor as director

After superstar Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao decided to step away from a forthcoming film because a woman has accused its director of sexual harassment, T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar has taken a tough decision.

Kumar has sacked director Subhash Kapoor, who is believed to be the person Aamir and Kiran talked about in their statement, from helming his much-ambitious project Mogul, a biopic on music baron and T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar.


"It is our foremost duty to make our industry safe for everyone, make an industry that creates an environment of equality and a better place to work. With the on-going proceedings against the director that have been brought to our notice, everyone at T-Series has decided to not work with the director," Bhushan said.

When asked if Aamir Khan would get back on board again after Subhash Kapoor's exit from the project, Kumar said, "That I can't comment now as you can understand from his tweet he has nothing against us but the director."

Kapoor is accused of molesting actor Geetika Tyagi in 2014. Thanking Aamir and Kiran for their firm stand, Tyagi wrote, "This is commendable and this is the kind of support we want so that more and more women can come out. Thank you."
