After serious allegations of sexual assault surface against top film director, sources tell mid-day that Super 30 producers are seriously considering leaving out his name; Hrithik Roshan too releases strong statement against wrongdoing

Hrithik Roshan and Vikas Bahl
Yesterday, mid-day had reported that filmmaker Vikas Bahl — currently in the eye of a storm owing to accusations of sexual harassment — is likely to be kept away from promotional work of his next, Super 30. In a development that may spell further trouble for the filmmaker, the makers of the Hrithik Roshan-starrer are likely to take a cue from the goings-on in the West, and deny giving him credit as director on the project.
A trade insider tells mid-day, "Co-producer Reliance Entertainment is seriously considering dropping Vikas's name from the credit roll. That is what all corporate firms are doing in Hollywood." The development follows the dissolution of Phantom Films, which was co-producing Super 30 along with Reliance Entertainment and Sajid Nadiadwala. Given that Bahl is currently looking into the post-production work for the venture — inspired by math wiz Anand Kumar's life — he is likely to be told to dissociate from the project following its completion.
