Earlier in April, Murray was named in a complaint, which Searchlight Pictures is investigating after suspending production on the film, according toDeadlineandVariety.
The nature of the complaint, as well as whether the actor and comedian will return toBeing Mortal, is not clear.
“We know you are all concerned about the recent delays in production and want to give you an update,” the letter began, according toDeadline. “Late last week, we were made aware of a complaint, and we immediately looked into it. After reviewing the circumstances, it has been decided that production cannot continue at this time.”

“We are truly grateful to all of you for everything you’ve put into this project. Our hope is to resume production and are working with Aziz and [producer] Youree [Henley] to figure out that timing. Production will be in touch with you to share details on the wrap, and we will let you know as soon as we have more information to share,” the email concluded.
Ansari, 39, who was reportedly not part of the complaint, is set to make his directorial debut alongside his producing partner Henley with the film, which theParks and Recreationactor also wrote and stars in. The cast also includesSeth RogenandKeke Palmer.
The film is based on Atul Gawande’s 2014 bookBeing Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End, which explores hospice and end-of-life care. Principal photography began March 28.
Reps for Murray and Ansari have not responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment. Searchlight has said they do not comment on investigations.
“Some of the language was inexcusable and unacceptable, and I was not going to just sit there and take it. So, yes, I stood up for myself, and I don’t regret it,” Liu, 53, said last year on theLos Angeles Times’Asian Enoughpodcast. “Because no matter how low on the totem pole you may be or wherever you came from, there’s no need to condescend or to put other people down. And I would not stand down, and nor should I have.”
