"Sajid has directed 60 per cent of the film. But this is studio's call (to not give him credit). And that is how it going to happen now," Akshay told reporters here at the trailer launch of the comedy. The 51-year-old actor, who plays the lead in the movie, said film industry has become a more secure place after the #MeToo movement made its way to India last year. Asked if he would collaborate with Sajid again in future, Akshay said he is open to working with the director if he gets a clean chit.
