Now, some more details about the complaint have been revealed, namely, who it was lodged against: The film’s star, Bill Murray.

"Being Mortal" suspended production over complaints about Bill Murray's inappropriate behavior on set.

“Being Mortal” is based on Atul Gawande’s 2014 nonfiction book “Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End.” Gawande, a practicing surgeon, describes his book — about aging, patients’ anxieties regarding death and doctor’s tendencies to fall back on false hope — as having the potential to “change medicine — and lives.” Through reflections and personal stories, the book takes a look at the limitations and failures of modern medicine at the end of a person’s life. On the 2000 action-comedy “Charlie’s Angels,” star Lucy Liu reportedly confronted Murray for “hurling insults” at her following a rewrite of a scene without his knowledge. “Late last week, we were made aware of a complaint, and we immediately looked into it,” the note said.

The suspension happened after an allegation of “inappropriate behavior'' by the actor, a person involved with the production said.

Production on the movie began in Los Angeles at the end of March and was to include a 30-day shoot. The production spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday conducting an investigation, which resulted in the determination that work on the movie could not resume for the time being. He also surfaced in unexpected real-life moments: reading poetry to construction workers, joining a kickball game on Roosevelt Island and even photobombing a couple’s engagement picture shoot in South Carolina.

Searchlight Pictures has reportedly halted the Aziz Ansari film "Being Mortal" over inappropriate behavior allegations against Bill Murray.

Production of Being Mortal suspended by studio Searchlight while an investigation is being conducted.

However, Deadline named Murray and the New York Times followed, referencing an anonymous source saying that the movie was shut down because of what was described only as “inappropriate behaviour”. It is not known how long the shoot will be suspended. After reviewing the circumstances, it has been decided that production cannot continue at this time.”
