Controversies
Sexual harassment allegations
In October 2018, Sajid was accused of sexual harassment by several female colleagues such as Mandana Karimi, Saloni Chopra, Rachel White, Simran Suri and journalist Karishma Upadhyay through the “Me Too” Movement in India. He was heavily criticised by actors such as Akshay Kumar and Bipasha Basu after which he stepped down from the Directorship of Housefull 4.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Khan was eventually replaced by Farhad Samji, who co-directed Housefull 3, as director of Housefull 4.[19]
On 15 October 2018, The Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association issued a showcause notice to Khan. “Your…actions have brought disrepute to Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association,” read the notice. It further noted that they expected an explanation from Khan “for such offensive behaviour within seven days of the receipt of the notice for further action as per the rules and regulations… In case of no reply, ex-parte decision would be taken.”[20]
