Description: As previously reported, Aziz Ansari’s Being Mortal has suspended its production. This was due to a complaint filed during shooting, and it came to light when filming was halted for three days starting on Monday. This was before Searchlight Pictures sent out a letter to the film's cast and crew on Wednesday making them aware of the situation. While at the time it was unknown who the complaint was filed against, now that has been revealed. Reported exclusively by Deadline, the complaint was against cast member Bill Murray. There are no specifics on the severity of the complaint and Searchlight has yet to comment on the investigation. In the letter sent out to the crew, it stated that, “Late last week, we were made aware of a complaint, and we immediately looked into it. After reviewing the circumstances, it has been decided that production cannot continue at this time.” There is also no word whether they will recast Murray. This puts Being Mortal in a real tough spot as the film began its production in late March, and it was reported that the project was halfway through its filming. It is also important to note that this is not the first time we have heard Murray’s name involved in a complaint like this. On the set of Charlie’s Angels Murray was confronted by actress Lucy Liu after the Ghostbusters’ actor insulted her during a rewritten scene.
