Amid allegations of sexual misconduct against Homebound cinematographer Pratik Shah, Dharma Productions has issued a statement in the matter. They spoke about Shah`s association with the Neeraj Ghaywan-directorial and how during the shoot of the film they did not receive any complaints from the film`s team.
Reacting to allegations against Pratik Shah, the makers of Homebound wrote, "At Dharma Productions we have a zero tolerance policy against inappropriate behavior and sexual harassment towards any individual working with us in any capacity, and we treat sexual harrasment cases very seriously. Mr. Pratik Shah was a freelancer on the project Homebound and was working on it for a limited period. His engagement with us has been completed. During this limited period our internal committee for POSH didn’t receive any complaints against him from any cast or crew on our film ‘Homebound’.
Homebound and Jubilee cinematographer Pratik Shah has been accused of being emotionally abusive and highly manipulative by filmmaker Abhinav Singh. In a series of posts on his Instagram Stories, Abhinav shared details about a "predator" in the film industry, with nearly 20 women reportedly coming forward to share their stories with him after he shared his experience working with Shah. While he initially did not reveal the artist’s identity, he later named the person as cinematographer Pratik Shah. Shortly after being named, Pratik Shah took down his Instagram account.
