Being Mortal is a suspended American comedy-drama film written, directed, produced by, and starring Aziz Ansari in what was set to be his feature directorial debut.
In April, production was suspended due to a complaint against Murray for allegedly sexually harassing a young female crew member.
In a letter to the cast and crew, Searchlight said they were working with Ansari and Henley to resolve the matter and resume production.
"[6] In October of that year, reports emerged that Murray had allegedly straddled a "much younger" female production assistant and while both masked, kissed her on the mouth, causing her to file an official complaint.
[7] Shortly afterward, Palmer told Variety that the film would need "a major rewrite" to be completed without Murray, but that "if somebody could figure it out, it's Aziz".
