On a related note, YRF recently fired Ashish Patil, vice president, Brand Partnerships and Talent Management and Business, and creative head – Y Films, after a woman accused him of sexual harassment.

The production company had asked the victim to share her story with the presiding officer of their Internal Complaints Committee post which they decided to terminate Patil's services with immediate effect.
