Bill Murray is reportedly at the center of an ongoing investigation after allegations of “inappropriate behavior” forced the suspension of his upcoming film “Being Mortal” Monday.

A complaint filed last week led to the halt in production, according to Deadline. A letter issued by Searchlight Studios has reportedly served as the official notice of the movie’s suspension for all associated cast and crew members of the film.

Seth Rogen was set to co-star alongside Bill Murray in “Being Mortal,” and comedian Aziz Ansari was poised to make his directorial debut, as well as starring in the film and lending his talents as a writer, according to Deadline. At this time, the two veteran comedians have not been named as part of the complaint filed against Murray, the outlet noted.

Details pertaining to Murray’s alleged “inappropriate behavior” remain unclear at this time, as does Murray’s potential future involvement in the movie, Deadline reported. (RELATED: ‘I Was Ready To Die’: Bill Murray Says A Painting Stopped His Thoughts Of Suicide)

The 71-year old “Saturday Night Live” alum has faced allegations of misconduct in the past, including a complaint by actress Lucy Liu about “unacceptable” comments Murray allegedly made during the filming of “Charlies Angels,” according to Yahoo.

Other notable instances include Murray’s physical altercation with Chevy Chase in 1978, according to Entertainment. An ashtray-throwing incident also allegedly transpired between Murray and actor Richard Dreyfuss while filming “What About Bob.” This altercation led to Dreyfuss referring to Murray as a “drunken bully,” according to Yahoo.

Principal photography for “Being Mortal” had begun March 28, and the film was originally scheduled for release in 2023.

Representatives from Searchlight Studios have been unable to provide further details at this time, as the investigation remains ongoing, according to Deadline.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
