A Mumbai Mirror report stated that Katrina Kaif is all set to work with Super 30 director, Vikas Bahl for his next slice-of-life comedy, titled Deadly.  The premise apparently revolved around a funeral and will trace the protagonist’s journey of self-discovery with humorous undertones. Though an official confirmation about the same wasn't out yet, the report confirmed that Katrina had given her nod to it and the film's recce was supposed to start in May. However, the actress' so-called decision wasn't appreciated by Huffington Post's reporter who reminded her of his #MeToo accusations.

Vikas Bahl was among the first few names in Bollywood who got accused in the #MeToo movement. The filmmaker apparently assaulted Phantom Film's female employee and the production house did nothing to help her. While the director was cleared of all the sexual harassment charges by the internal complaints committee of Reliance Entertainment, not everyone is willing to tag him as 'innocent'. When Huffington Post got in touch with the actress to get her confirmation on working with Bahl, she denied the report citing it as completely untrue. Kangana's Sister Rangoli Chandel Reacts to Vikas Bahl Getting a Clean Chit in the Sexual Harassment Case, Calls Bollywood 'Scum Land'.

Check Out the Confirmation

Before Katrina, there were reports of how Deepika Padukone had turned down Luv Ranjan's next with Ranbir Kapoor simply because she was always vocal about how she'll not work with any #MeToo accused in future. Guess, we'll have to wait a bit longer to see Katrina work with Amitabh Bachchan on the silver screen once again. The veteran star was also reported to play her father in the same project.
