I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way,” Murray said. “The company, the film studio wanted to do the right thing. So, they wanted to check and investigate everything, so they stopped production. But so far we’re talking and trying to come to terms with each other.”

I thought about it and it’s not the best for the other person, it doesn’t matter what happens to me.

How can I be so imprecise and so insensitive, ‘When you think you’re sensitive to some allergy you’ve had for a long time’.

Ansari wrote the script and was also expected to play a role in the film.
