Los Angeles, May 1 Hollywood star Bill Murray has shared his first statement on the suspension of production on 'Being Mortal', which Searchlight Pictures deemed necessary after investigating complaints of inappropriate behaviour against him.Murray shared his comments during an interview on CNBC Television at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, reports 'Variety'.Without going into detail about the dynamic between himself and aggrieved parties, Murray explained his perspective on the situation and its aftermath."I had a difference of opinion with a woman I'm working with. I did something I thought was funny and it wasn't taken that way," Murray told CNBC."The movie studio wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out and investigate it and so they stopped the production."According to 'Variety', Murray went on to explain that he has been in contact with the woman he offended, expressing hope that both of them could comfortably work together to continue the film's production."As of now we're talking and we're trying to make peace with each other," he continued."We're both professionals. We like each other's work, we like each other, I think. If we can't get along and trust each other, there's no point in going further working together or making a movie. It's been quite an education for me. I've been doing not much else but thinking about her for the last week or two."When asked whether he had been in conversations with Searchlight Pictures about the complaint, Murray stated that he wasn't: "Not with the studio, just with her and the people that are helping her. First things first."On April 20, Searchlight Pictures sent a letter to the 'Being Mortal' cast and crew, informing them filming had been suspended due to an unspecified complaint. Though sources at the time indicated the production halt was not Covid related, it was ambiguous what caused the shutdown.The exact nature of the complaints against Murray remain unconfirmed.It is not clear whether Murray will continue work on 'Being Mortal' or if he will be replaced. The film had reportedly completed about half of its principal photography before production was suspended in mid-April.'Being Mortal' marks the feature film directorial debut for Aziz Ansari, who also stars in the film alongside Seth Rogen and Murray. The project is an adaptation of Atul Gawande's 2014 non-fiction book 'Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End'.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
