Imtiaz Ali issues clarification on Highway film

Recently, Imtiaz Ali spoke at International Film Festival of India in Goa during a panel discussion on women daftly and cinema where he had mentioned about the misconduct happened on the sets of Highway.

In his latest Instagram story, Imtiaz Ali shared a screenshot of a report stating that he had sent back a crew member for misconduct. He wrote, ‘Making a slight clarification- there was no misdemeanour on the sets of the movie Highway and nobody was sent back from that unit. The unit of Highway was exemplary :)”.

During the conversation, Imtiaz Ali had said, “We did a movie called Highway where we were on the road constantly with no proper vanity vans. Even for nature’s call or to change, Alia had to be taken to unusual places. Sometimes we were at certain spots where it was not possible for anybody but maybe the cameraman, or myself, or Randeep Hooda to be the people to give her that safe space”. He also said that, he had to sent back this guy after he was lurking around Alia during the time whenever she was changing at unusual places or going for nature's call.
