Katrina Kaif has denied working with Vikas Bahl on his next. Recently, it was reported that Katrina and Amitabh Bachchan were set to star in Deadly, an upcoming slice-of-life comedy centred on a father-daughter relationship. 

Soon after the news came out, the actors were slammed for working with Vikas, who was accused of sexual harassment by a former employee in 2018. The allegations, which came out during the MeToo movement in Bollywood, pertained to an incident in 2015. Vikas was subsequently cleared of harassment charges by an internal committee at Reliance Entertainment, the co-producers of Super 30. 

Katrina and Big B were criticised on Twitter for working with the tainted director. However, as per recent reports, Katrina has denied signing the project (A clarification from Big B is awaited at the moment.)

Vikas has directed films like Queen and Shaandaar. This last release, Super 30, was a biopic of math whiz Anand Kumar, who was played by Hrithik Roshan.
