Mumbai: When Sushant Singh Rajput bagged his first Yash Raj film ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’, the banner was eager to sign the actor for two more projects. Soon, Sushant’s next ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!’ was released, that had him in the titular role.
He was approached to be a part of YRF's ‘Paani’ directed by Shekhar. To accommodate the film, Sushant opted out of Abhishek Kapoor’s next ‘Fitoor’. He was approached for ‘Ram-Leela’ before Ranveer Singh, but he rejected the film because of the YRF contract.
However, according to reports YRF has backed out, leaving Shekhar Kapur in lurch. The director had waited for three years for the film to roll and has now again met with a roadblock.
Also, Sushant was promised Aditya Chopra’s ‘Befikre’ but the makers decided to finalise Ranveer Singh instead. Sushant was apparently taken aback and hence decided not to associate with YRF anymore.
