<p>As #MeToo movement gains momentum in India, prominent names from Bollywood have been accused of sexually harassing women over the years. Director of 'Queen', Vikas Bahl, has been <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/two-more-women-accuse-queen-director-vikas-bahl-of-sexually-harassing-them-170271">accused by multiple women,</a> including Kangana Ranaut, of sexual misconduct.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Bahl's film 'Super 30' is up for release in January and its leading man <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hrithik-roshan-reacts-on-charges-of-sexual-harassment-against-super-30-director-vikas-bahl-170260">Hrithik Roshan, in a statement, has mentioned </a>that he has requested producers of the film to take strict action against Bahl if proven guilty. Roshan has stated that he would not want to work with someone like Bahl.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now, media reports suggest that Bahl may not be credited for his work in 'Super 30'. A source close to the film spoke to a daily and said, "Co-producer Reliance Entertainment is seriously considering dropping Vikas's name from the credit roll. That is what all corporate firms are doing in Hollywood."&nbsp;</p>

<br />
The development comes soon after the dissolution of Phantom Films, which was co-producing 'Super 30' along with Reliance Entertainment and Sajid Nadiadwala. The film is based on Math wizard Anand Kumar and is in post-production stage. Bahl is reportedly taking care of the post-production work and news has it that he will be asked to dissociate himself from the project.<br />
<br />
Bahl will also be dropped from the Kapil Dev biopic '83' that had him as the co-producer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Founders of comedy collective All India Bakchod (AIB), Tanmay Bhat&nbsp;and Gursimran Khamba have stepped down temporarily from their role in the wake of the ongoing #MeToo movement that has gripped India.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
AIB has been battling allegations of sexual harassment against its members and has also been accused of hiring Utsav Chakraborty despite knowing his past behaviour. Chakraborty has been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While Bhat has come under attack for his inaction in the complaints against writer-comedian Utsav Chakraborty, Khamba has been directly accused of sexual misconduct.&nbsp;<br />
The future of the group, which also includes Rohan Joshi and Ashish Shakya and became popular for its 'roasts' and satires, faces an uncertain future, said Vidhi Jotwani, HR head at AIB.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Truthfully, we don't know what this means for the future of AIB or whether there is one. In the interim, Ashish Shakya, Rohan Joshi and other senior team members will work towards being able to answer that question over the next several months," she said in a statement.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Bhat, the statement added, will not be involved with the day-to-day functioning of the company.<br />
<br />
"We have been closely monitoring the sequence of events on social media around the allegations against AIB and also against our co-founder and CEO, Tanmay Bhat. We cannot overlook Tanmay's role and in light of this, he will be stepping away from his association with AIB until further notice.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"This implies that Tanmay will not be involved with the day to day functioning of AIB or in any other manner," the statement posted on the company's official Twitter account read.&nbsp;</p>
