Abigail Breslin filed a complaint with SAG-AFTRA against the co-star of her upcoming film Classified, saying that he was extremely "unprofessional" in his behavior with her while filming and that she felt unsafe around him.

The film Classified was created early this year in Malta by Dream Team Studios. Eckhart portrays a hitman who finds out that his CIA handler has been dead for years. His estranged daughter is played by Abigail Breslin. As per reports, Breslin was unwilling to be alone with Eckhart in multiple scenes. As per the producers, they had to cede to Breslin's demands, or she would not carry out her contractual duties.

The studio investigated the matter, and subsequently claimed that the allegations made by Breslin hold no substance. They claimed that her allegations against Eckhart are "wild, hysterical and imaginary."

The studio went forward with filing a lawsuit against the actress. According to the lawsuit, the production had to make expensive arrangements worth at least $80,000 in order to finish the film. The lawsuit further claims that SAG-AFTRA safety regulations compelled Mr. Georgiev, the film's on-set producer, to write an investigative report on the allegations.

Abigail Breslin's representative spoke to Rolling Stone to comment on the matter and respond to the lawsuit claims.

"Abigail is not aware of any action filed against her and has not been served with any legal notice. Ms. Breslin categorically denies all contended allegations and unequivocally stands by her statement which she provided confidentially to SAG."

Following her nomination for an Academy Award for her performance in Little Miss Sunshine, Breslin has starred in films including August: Osage County, Ender's Game, and Zombieland: Double Tap, among others.
