Starring Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra in lead roles, Yash Raj Films’ keenly awaited movie Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar may face some delay in its theatrical release because Dibakar Banerjee, the director of the film, has been accused of sexual harassment.
Known for directing such amazing films as Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006), Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (2008) and Love Sex Aur Dhokha (2010), Banerjee has been accused of sexual harassment by Payal Rohatgi.
The actress says that the director had tried to take advantage of her by asking her to lift her shirt and show him her stomach during one of their meetings. This incident happened in the year 2011.
Yash Raj Films, that recently took stringent actions against one of the top executives who was accused of alleged harassment, is yet to take any call on this issue. The fate of Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar depends a lot on the final decision made by the production house.
