Film featuring Alok Nath struggling to find distribution, producer says it's unfair

Producer Imran Khan says his upcoming project "Main Bhi", featuring Alok Nath as a judge, is struggling to find a distributor as no one wants to touch the film owing to the rape allegation against the veteran actor.

The producer claims some distributors along with his publicity partners are shying away from the film as Nath's image has been "tainted".

"I shot this film much before the #MeToo allegations and his ban came up. My film was complete in July. I've been trying to release the film since February.

"My publicity and advertisement partners, who had given me the word to pump in money for release, have now backed out. There are distributors I know who aren't ready to take it," Imran told PTI.

The TV actor-turned-producer said, "I wish they let the court take its course. If I had made the film after his accusations and the ban, then I can understand."
