The woman has alleged that during an outdoor shoot in 2006, Sham Kaushal invited her to his room for drinks and even showed her pornographic video on his phone. Sham Kaushal, who has been a stunt director for films like Bajirao Mastani and Dangal had reacted to this allegation and had posted a statement on his Twitter account. A part of his statement read, “I have read the allegations made against me by some crew members. If I have unintentionally caused any hurt or anguish, I unconditionally apologise to the ladies, to the production houses & each & every member of the film fraternity.”

Now, we have learnt that Sham Kaushal has resumed work on the next schedule of Housefull, however the woman who accused the action director has not been called for this schedule. Housefull 4 stars Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon among other stars. In the wake of Me Too movement in India, many women called out the film’s director Sajid Khan for grave sexual misconduct.
