Furthering the ongoing investigation in the Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case, the Mumbai Police will soon be calling filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in for questioning, the decision no doubt fuelled by the barrage of social media posts claiming (without any proof) that the actor was the first choice for Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela and his magnum opus, Bajirao Mastani. A summon asking Bhansali to appear before the police in next couple of days has been sent to the filmmaker as confirmed by a well-placed source.
Earlier, Sushant Singh Rajput’s rumoured girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, was quizzed at Mumbai’s Bandra police station for almost ten hours (after it was revealed that they were living together) as was the actor’s Dil Bechaara costar, Sanjana Sanghi, and Shanoo Sharma, a prominent casting director with the Yash Raj Films, again fuelled by speculation on social media and Kangana Ranaut’s video that YRF had cast the late actor aside and given his projects to someone else. Sushant though has said on a number of occasions in prior interviews that he wasn’t able to be a part of films like Befikre and Half Girlfriend due to date issues or never being offered them in the first place.
Said source has also informed that Kangana and filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, with who Sushant was supposed to do Paani, will also be calling for questioning by the police, which is only fair, given how they’ve been frequently tweeting and voicing their opinions on the actor’s tragic and sudden demise. The case, which medical staff has confirmed as clear suicide, is getting murkier by the minute, and all we can do in the meantime is wait for the police to release their findings from these interrogations.
