Meanwhile, Sandler's "The Ridiculous 6," which became available for streaming on Netflix in December, embroiled the actor in a controversy, thanks to the movie's portrayal of Amerindians that did not sit well with the extras, who left the set during its shoot.
"I talked to some of the actors on the set who were there and let them know that the intention of the movie is 100 percent to just make a funny movie… it's really about American Indians being good to my character and about their family and just being good people. There's no mocking of American Indians at all in the movie. It's a pro-Indian movie," Sandler said as he clarified the issue.
