Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 was supposed to come out on January 25, making it a big clash with Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen. The pans went topsy turvy after the resurgence of the #MeToo movement on social media in which prominent celebs were accused of sexual harassment. Amidst these allegations, Super 30's director Vikas Bahl's case was also revisited. He was accused of sexually harassing an employee of his production house, the now-dissolved Phantom Films. The director was asked to stay away from the film, whose shooting has already been completed, and the release date has been pushed ahead. Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 to Now Release on July 26, 2019.

Now, as per an article in Huffington Post, Anurag Kashyap has now taken over the reins from Bahl and is overlooking the post-production work of the film. He was taken over the duties after getting approval from his estranged business partner, Bahl.

He said, "At the moment I am getting Womaniya started, but yes, I will be overseeing the post-production of Super 30."
