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 completed in July. I’ve been trying to release the film since February.

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.”Imran said the film’s chances of getting a release was damaged further due to the controversy surrounding “De De Pyaar De”, which also features Nath.

The producers of the film, headlined by Ajay Devgn, came under fire from Tanushree Dutta, who had kickstarted the MeToo movement in India, for retaining portions of Nath, shot before the allegations surfaced.
